The Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge (opened 1911) is a historic transporter bridge that carries cars and pedestrians across the River Tees on a suspended gondola. It’s one of the few of its kind left. It has been mostly closed since 2019 for repairs, so its usual blue night illumination is often switched off.

The loco ran round its wagons a short distance from here and pushed the tanks back to the loading area.
My understanding is that this service last ran on November 1st 2024, the traffic reverting to road haulage.
This line used to continue to Hartlepool Docks which can be seen a few miles further north. The branch to Port Clarence, Seal Sands and here has no booked workings.

The Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge is the furthest downstream bridge across the River Tees. It connects Middlesbrough, on the south bank, to Port Clarence, on the north bank. It is a transporter bridge, carrying a moving 'gondola', suspended from the bridge, across the river in 90 seconds. The gondola can carry 200 people, 9 cars, or 6 cars and one minibus. It carries the A178 Middlesbrough to Hartlepool road.
Following a 1907 Act of Parliament the Bridge was built at a cost of £68,026 6s 8d (equivalent to £6,490,000 in 2015 values), by Sir William Arrol & Co. of Glasgow & Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company of Darlington between 1910 and 1911. A transporter bridge was chosen because Parliament ruled that the new scheme of crossing the river had to avoid affecting the river navigation. The opening ceremony was performed by Prince Arthur of Connaught on 17 October 1911 and was Grade II listed in 1985
The Bridge has an overall length (including cantilevers) of 851 feet leaving a span between the centres of the towers of 590 feet the beam of the bridge being carried at a height of 160 feet above the road. The bridge is the longest remaining transporter bridge in the world. The bridge is currently owned by Middlesbrough Council and Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council. Middlesbrough Council has control of the day-to-day operations and maintenance. In 2011 the Tees Transporter Bridge received a £2.6m Heritage Lottery Fund award for improvement and renovation work to mark the Bridge's centenary.
66199 runs between the Grangetown Oxygen plant and what is left of the Lackenby grids and steelsheds with empty raw steel carriers tripping from the Skinningrove rolling mills to Tees Yard, trip 6N53, on the afternoon of September the 29th 2021. The wagons will return overnight to Scunthorpe steelworks added to other wagons that deliver raw slab to the Lackenby rolling mills at left.
This picture is a simple stitch. Well, they ain't quite so often as easy as that, but this is two pictures. I wanted to use my 100mm lens and also include the BOC plant as well as the large expansion bends in the pipes at right alongside the Lackenby complex. So I took an acceptable picture of the train with the BOC plant left and then after the train passed, moved right. Well, the driver waved and gave me a toot, instantly I forgot about the stitch and reciprocated so had to recompose, checking the picture on the camera to find the top and bottom boundaries. The stitching software is lazy and with the two photos whole removes the train so I had to crop the right picture close to the signal. This gave a poor stitch along the power lines so I cropped the top half of the right picture and added that to the stitch, it crosses both photos and cures that problem. I hope you like it, its took the best part of half a day to make!

The iconic Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge across the river Tees on an extremely wet April morning! The Grade II-listed structure, which opened in 1911, is one of only six of its type still operating in the world and the only one in England. Refurbishment of the 104-year-old structure, which closed in August 2013, had been expected to last eight months. However, a string of problems meant the reopening date was repeatedly put back and costs rose from £3.1m to £4m. It eventually reopened on 7th March 2015.
