The Bodmin & Wenford Railway is Cornwall's only standard gauge railway still operated by steam locomotives. The trains operate on 13 mile round trip through some delightful Cornish scenery. The Railway is typical of a branch line in the 1950's. Great Western steam tank engines are the main locomotives to be seen here but diesel traction is also used, particularly on Saturdays The main station on the line is at Bodmin General, where the engine sheds can also be seen as well as as a Souvenir shop and refreshment room in the restored station buildings. Boscarne Junction provides a direct link with the "Camel Trail", the cycle and footpath running to Padstow along the route of the old Bodmin & Wadebridge Railway. Bodmin Parkway station is on the main rail line from London to Penzance and has a beautiful walk along the old carriage drive to the Lanhydrock House.
