Penzance, station and harbour 1995

Image: © Ben Brooksbank Taken: 23 Apr 1995

View SE from Chyandour Cliff. The locomotive on the Up express in the foreground is Class 47 Brush/Sulzer Co-Co Diesel No. 47.632. [The history of the Class 47's, first built 9/62, is so complex with its numerous variants that I am unable to sort out the life-story of this particular one]. Across the harbour can be seen the 'Scillonian III', the passenger vessel serving St Mary's (Scilly), April - November.
