Cornwall Narrow Gauge
by Maurice Dart
During the past century, Cornwall possessed numerous narrow gauge railways and tramways that used a variety of gauges. A selection of these, that served china clay works, tin and copper mines and quarries are examined. Motive power used ranged from manual to battery electric locomotives. Between Cambourne and Redruth there was a remarkable electric street tramway, which also hauled minerals along the streets. Also included in this fascinating album are the more recent minor railways which attract visitors in profusion.
