Southburn Dene railway viaduct, 1968
A service crosses the viaduct south of Chester-le-Street, spanning Southburn Dene just north of the railway bridge shown in http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=39378269 . That looks like a Sulzer type 4 locomotive. The 8-arched viaduct dates from 1868 http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=109372&mode=adv ; the stone plinths can be seen below. The dene is more wooded these days. The South Burn joins the Wear less than a kilometre away, to the left.

Train at Southburn Dene viaduct, 1968
From the same spot as Image] and Image], and mainly included because it shows that the Dene above the viaduct was then clothed in low trees and scrub rather than mature trees, as now. Thanks to Mark Abbott for letting me know that in front of the Class 24 Locomotive is a brake tender.
