Freight Train Day

 Today has seen the second installation in our events accompanying the 'Back to Backworth' exhibition, a demonstration freight train day to recreate the coal and oil trains that frequented our railway in its heyday.


The freight train heads around rising sun curve on the way to Percy Main.
