E55012 Harperley 1000 270623 CGee 5H

Opinionated weather forecasters telling me it's going to be a miserable day. Miserable for who? I quite like a bit of drizzle, so stick to the facts.

 

70 years ago, the Weardale Railway lost its passenger service on 29 June 1953. A good few years before innovations like this class 122 might have saved it (unlikely in my view).

 

In what locals referred to as - "the pissing rain" - E55012 sits outside the old Harperley station.
