Summary

[edit]
Description
English: St Blazey Locomotive Depot.
View westward, to the semi-roundhouse behind the locomotives in the yard. The depot is beside the Cornwall Minerals line (closed in 1968) that came down to Par Harbour and Fowey from St Blazey station on the Par to Newquay branch. This fairly small depot (in the Newton Abbot Division, coded 83E by BR) provided locomotives for the local branches, notably the china-clay traffic. In 1954, the allocation of 37 engines was all steam, comprising:- 2 4-6-0s, 4 2-6-0s, 2 2-8-0Ts, 16 2-6-2Ts, 12 0-6-0Ts and 1 0-4-2T. However, by 1960 when this photograph was taken, main-line diesels had already begun to take over: Type 2 diesel-hydraulic No. D6308 was in the yard, together with 2-6-2T No. 4167, 0-6-0T No. 7446 and 2-8-0T No. 5264. The depot closed to steam in April 1962, but has survived as a diesel Depot: since 25 April 1987 the diesels have been serviced at a small straight-shed (out of view to the right), while the semi-roundhouse has been kept intact under a Preservation Order.
