## About This Content
Overhauled and updated to TRS19 Standards

The Cornish Main Line was originally built by two separate railway companies,
the West Cornwall Railway between Truro and Penzance, opened in 1852, and the
Cornwall Railway between Plymouth and a separate station in Truro, opened in
1859. The impecunious West Cornwall company sold its railway to the more
powerful broad gauge Associated Companies, dominated by the Great Western
Railway, and the new owners converted the West Cornwall line to broad gauge.
Through goods trains started running in 1866 and passenger trains in 1867. The
Associated Companies merged into the Great Western Railway, and in 1892 the
Great Western converted all its broad gauge track to standard gauge, a process
called the gauge conversion. During the later decades of the nineteenth
century and the first half of the twentieth, the Great Western Railway was
famous for providing transport to holiday destinations in Cornwall, and there
were numerous branch lines served from the Cornish main line giving access to
the resorts. The physical limitations of the steeply graded line imposed
severe problems during the busiest times, not least for goods train operation.
Equally famous was the line’s use for transporting vegetable produce from
Cornwall, famously broccoli and cauliflower, and cut flowers from the Scilly
Isles.

Many of the branch lines were closed during the second half of the twentieth
century, but in Cornwall the Looe, Newquay, Falmouth and St Ives branches
remain in operation, with a basic local passenger traffic in winter
considerably boosted by holidaymakers in summer. The historical development of
the line is more fully dealt with at Hayle Railway, West Cornwall Railway, and
Cornwall Railway.

This Route runs between Truro and terminates in Penzance and includes Branch-
lines to Falmouth (The Maritime Route), Helston, Hayle Wharves and St Ives.
