The Cornwall Minerals Railway owned and operated a network of forty-five miles of standard gauge railway lines in central Cornwall, England. It began by taking over an obsolescent horse-operated tramway in 1862 and improved and extended it, connecting Newquay and Par harbours and Fowey. Despite its name it also ran a passenger service between Newquay and Fowey, but the company was hurt financially after a collapse in mineral extraction prices following considerable capital expenditure.
