| The Pontop & South Shields route is taking a different form at this location |
 |
| A mothballed route - find your bearings from a landmark on a hill in the mid distance |
 |
| Coals to Newcastle |
 |
| Jungle tunnels |
 |
| A picture outside a locked-out museum |
 |
| Seen shunting - I thought there'd be enough fuel available - or perhaps it's a return load |
 |
| This is at the west end of Western Road in Jarrow, where levels & surfaces indicate that the several lines from the Bowes Railway into the petrochemical complex (latterly Rohm & Haas) still exist underneath. I think coal liquefaction was done here - anyone know more? |
 |
| I'd congratulate South Tyneside for its collection of disjoint roadside bits of way. This line crosses Wagonway Road, along which ran a waggonway connecting the two parts of Hebburn Colliery to riverside staiths (the site of which was latterly taken over by the Bowes Railway belt loading berths). What was on the site before A&P, using rail access to the South Shields-Newcastle line? See Tyne Built Ships to find out. |
