A30 east of Redruth One of the few sections where the road and the railway run parallel. It must encourage a few car drivers to race the train but we were comfortably overhauling this silver car. Opposite, behind the eastbound lay by, is a triangle of land that formerly contained the junction of the railway to St Agnes. The connection to the main line has been obliterated by the dual carriageway. This photo was taken from the 1158 Penzance to London Paddington train, having left Redruth at 1231.
