A great video which I find myself watching a few times a year. I spent many happy weeks throughout the summer's in that area as a boy and this certainly brings back memories. The sights, sounds, can even recall the smell from the boat tour even love it! Cheers

Having been an expat for over 50 years you always get the impression from the press that there is no industry left in the UK , and yet whenever we have visited the place seems to be buzzing and many of the small harbours are very often still working harbours , great to see .

Wonderful selection - all that’s needed is space to model it (and several lifetimes to do it) . . . .!! Thanks for sharing.

The thumbnail got my attention. Great footage. Thank you for sharing

Superb video, and a great insight to the hard working everyday Cornwall.

Interesting video. Wonderful on a large screen. Thank you for sharing.

Great video! Its wonderful to see big vessel entering a fairly small area, also great to see some railway action as well!

Great video -- we spend a couple of weeks in Fowey most years, overlooking the river, and see five or six big ships coming in and out. Great place, even in the rain...

What a great video, thank you. I remember as a very young child camping with my parents on Par beach, every morning we'd be woken by the first train of the day running from St Austell to Fowey loaded, I presume, with china clay.

After the Torrey Canyon oil spill in the spring of 1967 I went to report on the effects spending several weeks in the summers, one year at Sennan Cove and one in Fowey - out every day on the coastline, looking for anything still alive, and evenings in the pubs, lots of singing and playing guitar. I always said I'd go back to see how things recovered, but never did - it looks very well now.

Thanks for an interesting video featuring an unusual subject of china clay trains and ships.

What a beautiful vid. Cheers.👍🇬🇧

Fantastic Video!

WOW Great video. The shipping end of the operation was also very interesting. All the times I got to Cornwall, I never saw any of that. Thanks for posting. Subscribed.

Back in 2012 I stayed in a cottage in Golant over looking the line. Got a video of the train early in the morning. Nice to see it still running.

Thank you very much. Great action! Lovely part of the world!

I would love to see all this in person! Thanks for posting!

I just love the sound of trains on rails sends me into a coma every time, plus love the semaphore signals takes me back to my childhood no need for electricity to work them nowadays a power outage and no trains semaphore signals just pull the lever and on the trains go

The trains are spotless!

What a beautiful place. This is truely a beautiful world we live in. Aslam Mahomed Johannesburg South Africa.

Great video!

absolutely fantastic. never seen anything like this. did not know that river fowey to take such ships.

Superb video! The waterside and on the water scenes are views I've never seen in Cornwall before. How amazing to see a large ship being towed up the busy river - and at quite a speed, too. Some of the Class 66's seem a bit smokey these days? Really enjoyed the china clay trains and great scenery. Thanks so much for filming and sharing sharing - really appreciate it.

I'm watching this on a cold February morning in England. The sunshine and blue Cornish skies have warmed me up nicely. Great video, thanks for posting.

Enjoyed watching , brings back good memories of loading China clay at Par for Elsmere Port and Swanscombe .Long time ago now on Everards's ships

I used to buy of them 10 Tonne at a time Queensfill 25 Great little film Thanks for sharing

Brings back memories. Back in 1970 something I had to visit a ship at that quay to fix their radar.

It's nice to see industry in use rather than tourism .

Many thanks! It was most interesting to see the marine operations in the harbour. Thanks for your time and videoing expertise. Finally, what a surprise to see that one of the freighters was British flagged and registered in Cowes, Isle of Wight! Quite a catch eh? Regards, Rob.

That's so cool.I wish there were more like this in this country

Video quality super

Parabens excelente video.

very beautiful places thankyou this for video thankyou ...from istanbul

This is brilliant, and on my door step

Very nice. Wish I could teleport there right now.

Wonderful, interesting video, sips, trains - what more can you want? Thanks

38 clay waggons , ONE DIESEL , & " you lot are coming with ME " to the dock . ....... My folks used to get holidays here , & my dad said you could hear the deckhands drop the hold doors shut on the ships once they were full , from Bodinnick , is the vehicle ferry still there , my landrover has been on it times , in the 1980,s , russet brown csw . They had happy holidays there , good job they did , dad died 1990 , R.I.P. , & one of my most trusted friends ashes were scattered on the Fowey after living there for some years with a long illness , so also , R.I.P. A.J.H. , but the place looks lively & vibrant & that,s how it should be . One day I hope to visit .

Listen to it with headphones on. There's all sorts of interesting stereo sound effects going on. Like at 3:45 where a van pulls up behind you from left to right.

He was giving the first 66 the beans!

Does the China Clay come in a liquid or powder form and how does the transloading process work?

I counted 38 trucks that Loco was pulling! Some motor that must have!

I loved your video! Forgive my ignorance, but what is a German Deutsche Bahn train doing in Cornwall?

Why is the China Clay train displaying GERMAN markings; DB....?

surprized to see DB (Deutsche Bundesbahn ?!) here - please explain

38 wagons I counted!

I was waiting to see Thomas come round the corner

“You’re coming up this river whether you like or not not! Now, stop dragging!”

You can hire a kayak in Fowey and go up river to Golant (where the video starts) very easy and further to Lostwithiel, just follow the tide, and you can kayak past the clay boats when berthed.

My late father used China clay in the mixing of paint for colour on wall paper came my train all in cwt bags all unloaded my hand ,,

wow

At 6:30 the loc coming into view has a DB marking. What's the Deutsche Bahn doing here??? :-D

Cornish, Cornwall, Corn, Cornwall, Cornish!

Im in st austell

Is that all ???… You don't even show the train loading (or unloading for all I know …) ???… How frustrating.

All wagons clearly marked DB Deutsche Bahn

Were they taking the large ship into the bit of the estuary where they seem to leave them in a graveyard?

Mooring at the loading dock is some A grade seamanship.

Just rerun that and look at the pollution from the diesel, would it not be better to have steam.
