Cornwall Minerals Railway : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cornwall Minerals Railway
The Cornwall Minerals Railway owned and operated a network of 45 miles (72 km) of standard gauge railway lines in central Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It started by taking over an obsolescent horse-operated tramway in 1862, and it improved and extended it, connecting Newquay and Par Harbours, and Fowey. Having expended considerable capital, it was hurt by a collapse in mineral extraction due to a slump in prices. Despite its title, it operated a passenger service between Newquay and Fowey. After a period in bankruptcy it returned to normal financial arrangements and acquired the moribund Lostwithiel and Fowey line. In 1896 it sold its line to the Great Western Railway. Its main passenger line from Par to Newquay is in use at the present day, also carrying some mineral traffic, but the Par to Fowey line has been converted to a road haul route. ==Before the CMR==
