Mining Subsidence
Rescanned at higher resolution with better colour and image quality
Before the line between Burngullow and Probus was singled in 1986, the track around the area of Dowgas had strengthening ties added outside the rails to counteract mining subsidence and can be clearly seen here as 50 011 "Centurion" passes with 1E91, the 08:53 Penzance - Newcastle
The line was redoubled again in 2004, but the distinctive strengthening ties were not resinstated
