Opening the Gates
On Monday 3 February 1969 a saddle tank waits patiently with its coal train while the level crossing gates are opened at an unidentified location on the NCB Backworth system. Note the budding enthusiast observing proceedings from the fence. If anyone knows the precise location, possibly between Backworth and Burradon, the information would be much appreciated.
