Unthank Level Crossing (Stanhope) 10 April 1993

Unthank level crossing, near Stanhope, pictured on 10 April 1993. The closure had just been announced for the Weardale line, and clearly no trains had passed this way for a few days. That was to change shortly after this picture was taken, when 37506 British Steel Skinningrove & 37512 Thornaby Demon would traverse the branch with the  Pathfinder Tours 1Z43 04:50 Swindon to Eastgate 'Weardale Explorer' railtour.
