Geocache Description:

Quick Cache and Dash at St Columb Road train station

PLEASE LEAVE THE CACHE AS YOU FOUND IT
MANY THANKS

The station is wheelchair friendly once you are in the car park. The lane leading up to the station is a bit rough.

History of the station:
The first railway here was a horse-worked line from Newquay Harbour to Hendra Crazey. It was built by Joseph Treffry and completed in 1849.
The Cornwall Minerals Railway opened its line from Fowey to St Dennis Junction on 1 June 1874, where it connected with Treffry's Newquay Railway. The trains continued to carry only goods traffic but a passenger service was introduced on 20 June 1876. The station was originally known as Halloon but was renamed "St Columb Road" on 1 November 1878.
The passing loop was extended in 1933 to accommodate the long holiday trains that were then handled on the branch, but it was taken out of use on 3 January 1965 when the goods yard was closed.

Thank you to the Station Manager for allowing this cache to be placed here and for cachers to search for.
