Meldon Quarry Trains around Devon on 23rd July 1992
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of locations around the Exeter area of Meldon Quarry trains taken on 23/07/1992. Hauled by class 33s and filmed at some then pretty derelict locations such as Okehampton Station (allbeit still in SR livery and looking atmospheric) and the disused station at Tiverton Junction. The clip ends up at Exeter and Cowley Bridge Junction. I hope the video takes you back to this period with fond memories. Feel free to comment, good or bad, all comments are read and greatly appreciated, but it is not always possible to answer each individually. Sit back and enjoy this latest production remembering all those now long gone Locomotive classes and other types of traction. Many thanks for all subscriptions and all of those viewers who have kindly shown an interest in my material. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Wow this is incredible. Before the old buildings were turned into outdoor adventure centre, all the old goods yard lines still there. Awesome video
Many thanks Jason....not been back there since 1992.....best wishes...mark
Just great footage Mark. You'd be lucky to see any freight around there these days.
Thanks for sharing

Next plan is to go beyond to Tavistock Jn, providing sprawling housing estates don't snatch the land first.
Many thanks Duncan.....or taken by new car parks.....best wishes as always and a happy new year.....Mark
What a time capsule Oakhamphton station was.

Oh Ian. Oakhampton is certainly there today and looking wonderful including rejuvenated infrastructure and a good GWR service to/from Exeter!
