Camels Head Halt railway station

It was located on the outskirts of the city in sight of the Great Western Railway main line that crossed the River Tamar by the Royal Albert Bridge.

This difference could be the result of a complaint by the Plymouth, Devonport and South Western Junction Railway to the London and South Western Railway that while they had constructed the halt, the LSWR had not provided any service, with a subsequent report that services commenced before the official opening date.

The halt was located on an embankment[5] and the second similar platform was staggered, standing some distance away next to the road with a small brick built shelter and a second building, possibly a ticket office, backing on to the line.

[6] The Camels Head girder bridge stood close by on the route towards St Budeaux Victoria Road via Weston Mill Halt.

Both were truanting from Johnston Terrace Elementary School and she ran onto the line when a train was approaching.
