    HISTORY OF THE LINE


    The Cornish Main Line was originally built by two separate railway companies, the West Cornwall Railway between Truro and Penzance, opened in 1852, and the Cornwall Railway between Plymouth and a separate station in Truro, opened in 1859. The West Cornwall Railway was itself based on the Hayle Railway, opened in 1837 as a purely local mineral railway.

    The Tamar Bridge is a suspension bridge over the River Tamar between Saltash, Cornwall and Plymouth, Devon in southwest England. It is 335 metres (1,099 ft) long, running adjacent to the Royal Albert Bridge, and part of the A38, a main road between the two counties.

    also dont forget to visit bodmin parkway station. with its classic footbridge and the start of a heritage railway (bodmin and wenford railway not included)

    there are plenty of freight opportunities along this route with the freight only burngullow branch delivering clay to the clay factory, and doing freight shunting at St Austell

    also visit par, a quiet station in the countryside of Cornwall, and is one of those rare 11 stations with just 3 letters in its name, change here for the Newquay branch (not included in this suggestion)

    tbh I don't think the devs would want to do a full FGW livery with all the place locations on the side, they'd probs get so pissed at it cause of how many there are but I agree with this, I want this

    The full line from Penzance to Plymouth would be preferable, St Austell is such an awkward place to end a route. Even then it would be a large project, excluding branches. To prevent duplication of routes the South Devon Main Line or Riviera Line would be good alternatives.
