When Wadebridge had a railway , at 0545 hrs locomotive 25155 shunts the freight yard not long before freight services were withdrawn.On the left can be seen the goods shed which still stands today. A road and houses are now to be found where the locomotive stands. By 0555 the train had gone , most people would still be in bed and would never know that the railway was still in operation. 31 years on who would even know the railway was here and of course employed quite a large number of people with a large station and locomotive shed.
