Bedlington Station (remains), with Up coal train

View northward, towards Ashington and Newbiggin (to the right) and Morpeth (to the left). The station had been closed about six months before (2/11/64), together with the Newcastle - Newbiggin passenger service; even the freight traffic of this great South Northumberland area, which was steam-hauled longer than most (late into 1967), was doomed. The locomotive was one of the long-lived and capable NE J27 0-6-0's, No. 65834. See also NZ2783 : Bedlington Station and NZ2782 : Down empties train approaching Bedlington Station.
