	Maritime Line Information
		Maritime Line trains start from Truro railway station, normally from the bay platform that is reached by turning left and walking along the main platform beyond the footbridge.
		At this point the line to Penzance curves away to the right; the line to Falmouth was originally the Cornwall Railway main line and so runs straight ahead while the Penzance line was built by the West Cornwall Railway Company.
		The Maritime Line was built by the Cornwall Railway, a broad gauge railway (7 feet 0.25 inch) from Plymouth to Falmouth.

	Callington Branch History
		The line was almost 8 miles long and ran from Kelly Bray (about 1¼ miles north of Callington) to Calstock, where there was a rope-worked incline about 800' long which dropped some 350' to reach the quays.
		It appears that the quay lines themselves and the associated incline had been in existence before the ECMR was built as the property of the Tamar Coal, Manure and General Merchandise Company, who had used the incline to haul coal up the steep sides of the valley.
		After the line was opened to passenger traffic Col Stephens was appointed as the General Manager, but it appears that he was sacked after a year because he was absent from the line far more frequently than his contract permitted.

	Bere Alston
		The station was situated on the former main line of the London and South Western Railway (LandSWR) from Exeter to Plymouth via Okehampton and Tavistock, around the northern edge of Dartmoor, and it was also the junction for the branch to Callington.
		Since the closure of the ex-LandSWR main line north of Bere Alston in 1968, and also the truncation of the Callington branch at Gunnislake in 1966, the station is now a part of the 'Tamar Valley' branch line from Plymouth to Gunnislake.
		Although the PDandSWJR line ran generally from south to north on its way from Plymouth to Lydford, the curvature of the line as it followed the high ground east of the Tamar meant that Bere Alston station in fact lay on an east-west axis (east being at the Tavistock end).
