LISKEARD AND CARADON RAILWAY, a mineral railway in Cornwall; from Liskeard, north-by-eastward, to Caradon. It is 8¾ miles long, and was opened in March, 1846. Authority was obtained in 1860 to make alterations in two portions of it, to the length of 6 miles; to make a new railway, 2 miles long, from a junction with the main line near Trecarne farm, to Gonamena on the Cheesewring branch railway; to make a new branch, 1 mile long, from Crow's-Nest to Tokenbury-Corner; to take on lease, or purchase, or arrange for the working of, the Kilmar railway belonging to the Cheesewring Granite company; and to arrange with the commissioners of Looe harbour for laying down rails at their works, and for using these works.
