With a decent weather forecast for Saturday morning I decided to explore the Durham coast, an area I've not photographed before. The low winter sun was worth braving the freezing temperatures for, and with a number of freight workings and ECML diversions there was plenty of traffic on the line to make the trip worthwhile.
Here 66710 'Phil Packer' heads the 6H30 Tyne Coal Terminal to Drax Aes biomass across Crimdon Dene viaduct.
Crimdon was a popular resort with many mining families taking their holidays in the area. Today the area has been much improved as part of the Durham Heritage coast. The viaduct dates from 1905.
