NCB Electric Loco with Coal Hoppers

Tuesday 10th June 1986 and a trip on the ferry across the River Tyne from South Shields to North Shields.

On the way the ferry passed this National Coal Board railway with an old electric locomotive hauling coal hoppers. It is a reminder of the industry that used to be in the area. This line is now closed as is, I'm almost certain, the colliery it served.
