37506 British Steel Skinningrove & 37512 Thornaby Demon have just crossed over the River Wear, as they emerge from the trees near Frosterley on 10 April 1993 with the late running Pathfinder Tours 1Z43 04:50 Swindon to Eastgate 'Weardale Explorer' railtour. This was the final train over the line, Lafarge having closed the Eastgate Cement Works the previous month. The line has since reopened as a heritage railway. |
