EDITORS COMMENTS

This photograph, taken in the early 1920s, showcases the Penryn Viaduct in all its timber glory. Located in the picturesque county of Cornwall, England, this stunning structure once carried the Falmouth branch line trains over the Fal River. The intricate design of the viaduct, with its graceful arches and meticulously placed timbers, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the era. The Penryn Viaduct was an essential part of the railway network that connected Falmouth, a historic port town, with the rest of the country. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, with the steam trains puffing their way through the idyllic landscape, leaving a trail of smoke in their wake. However, the story of the Penryn Viaduct does not end there. By the mid-1920s, the viaduct had been replaced by an embankment, as seen in the background of the photograph. The reasons for the replacement are not entirely clear, but it is believed that the timber structure could no longer support the increasing weight of the trains and the demands of modern railway traffic. Despite its demise, the Penryn Viaduct remains an iconic symbol of Cornwall's rich railway heritage. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a time when timber viaducts were a common sight along the railway lines, and steam trains ruled the rails. Today, the STEAM Museum of the Great Western Railway preserves and celebrates the history of the railway in the South West of England, including the story of the Penryn Viaduct. This photograph is a treasure trove of history, transporting us back in time and offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of railway engineering in the early 20th century.
