Hartlepool to Newcastle railway line

GBRf class 66 locomotive 66720 at Hart Station, on the outskirts of Hartlepool. The livery of 66720 was designed in 2011 by Emily Goodman, then aged six. The freight locomotive has a different design on each side representing night and day. This is a similar photograph to one taken in 1986 for the BBC Domesday Project. The land between the railway and the coast is a golf course. The chimney, all that remains of the former Steetley Magnesite works can be seen on the horizon, to the left of the railway line. See the Domesday Reloaded webpage http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblock/GB-448000-534000/picture/3 For another Domesday Reloaded image see Image
