Steam had had its day! And so had most branch lines. 43063 and 43000 back to back headed an 11 coach train to make a final journey on old North British Railway line that originally ran from Morpeth to Reedsmouth near Bellingham. In this shot 430063 runs around the train, 43000 already at the front for the return journey.
