Halwill for Beaworthy Station, 1964
More commonly known as Halwill Junction, a name which still applies to the settlement which grew up round the station.
Passing through is a substantial mixed freight train, probably coming from the North Cornwall line rather than Bude, and headed by an N Class 2-6-0 locomotive. This was a versatile class, at home with both freight and passenger work, and could be found throughout the former Southern Railway territory. The lines through Halwill were all victims of the Beeching era cuts, closing in 1966.
My viewpoint is just in front of the bay window of the house in this view https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5541627 - times and the scenery have changed more than a little.
