Disused Railway bridge spanning the River Wear
The Weardale Heritage Railway currently terminates at Stanhope - but no further, although the lines are still in place as far as Eastgate.
The bridge across the River Wear is the main problem, it needs major and expensive restoration work and would likely collapse due to the weight of a train.
Here it is seen from the Weardale Way long distance footpath as it crosses the railway line.

Weardale Way
A 77 mile route following the River Wear from the sea at the Lindisfarne Memorial, Sunderland to the headwaters in the east Pennines, keeping as close as is possible to the river. It visits Lumley Castle, Durham (where the Castle and Cathedral forms a World Heritage Site), Bishop Auckland and Stanhope. After Stanhope the Way makes a northward loop to Rookhope to take in part of a tributary, Rookhope Burn.
