View SW, on the upper line towards Northallerton station and the ex-North Eastern ECML to York and the South. This Class F freight is headed (perhaps unusually) by an A1 Pacific (No. 60153 'Flamboyant') has come off the main line from York, which is seen above heading for Darlington, on the Low Level avoiding-line and is heading for Eaglescliffe and probably Newport Yard, Thornaby. An enormous amount of freight traffic ran through Northallerton to Tees-side as well as along the ECML, making Northallerton one of the busiest junctions in the whole country.
