View southward, towards Ferryhill; ex-North Eastern ECML. (See also NZ3035 : Down mineral empties train at Metal Bridge, approaching Tursdale Junction). The train of high-capacity coke wagons, more modern version of the large wooden wagons employed earlier by the North Eastern Railway for this traffic, is headed by Q6 0-8-0 No. 63458. On the busy four-track section it is passing an Up freight on its right, apparently headed by an ex-WD 2-8-0 - never a dull moment, even on a Saturday afternoon.
