Past & Present (22/04/2014)

Added some photographs of the Signal Box at South Pelaw Junction and it’s remains on the ‘Past & Present‘ page.

Stephen McGahon has come up trumps again with three new photographs of the Tyne-Tees Ltd railtour added to the Passenger Trains page.

Thanks to the Pelton Fell History Group I’ve been able to add two photographs of Pelton Station to the site.

More from Stephen McGahon on the Consett page including a couple of pretty sobering ‘before and after’ photographs.

Courtesy of Stephen McGahon, I’ve added a new photograph of a steel train passing the site of Leadgate Station.

Courtesy of John Carter, I’ve added a great shot from an unusual angle of the last passenger train at the junction on the 1980 – Closure page.

I’ve separated pages for Consett Station and Consett and, courtesy of Ernie Brack, added three new photographs of ore trains at Consett.

I’ve added a lot more information about the history of the iron ore trains here.

Courtesy of Paul Young, I’ve added a picture of the signal box and the post of the old home signal to the page on Beamish Station.

I’ve added a few more ‘now’ photographs of the NCB shed and bridge to the Stella Gill page.
