NZ2670 : Flying Scotsman at Killingworth

near to Killingworth, North Tyneside, Great Britain

Flying Scotsman at Killingworth

Behind the train lines of sidings for coal trains are just visible.

As Flying Scotsman has two tenders I think this is on it's return journey from Edinburgh after attempting a non-stop run from London to Edinburgh on 1st May 1968. (Nearly ran out of water before reaching destination)
