Steam locomotives, Bournmoor Junction, 1968
This view of a pair of locomotives working at Lambton Colliery looks across the old LNER line, running behind the brick hut on the right, towards houses at Bournmoor on Carnation Avenue. There are now nearer houses on this side of the estate at Lambourne Close. A couple of horses are in the meadow nearby.

Steam locomotive, Bournmoor Junction, 1968
Numbered NCB 42, this was "built by Robert Stephenson, works number 3801, in 1920 and sadly scrapped in May 1970" http://www.flickr.com/photos/david_christie/6760491975/in/set-72157628852916163/ Here it is working at the Lambton Colliery.
The houses in the background are on Briar Lea, Shiney Row. The tiny scrap of light grey building on the horizon on the right, above the right-most gable and to the right of the tree, is the Penshaw Monument http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=39705471 .

Steam locomotive, Bournmoor Junction, 1968
Another view of Image], with, in this direction, the sweeping curve of the railway line heading off eastwards towards Philadelphia on an embankment past spoil heaps and, I think, waiting coal wagons. The housing on the extreme left is on Briar Lea.

Disused railway trackbed at Bournmoor
The former Leamside route was the original main line from Darlington - Newcastle before being relegated to a secondary route when the main line took the new route via Durham and Team Valley in 1872. By the 1980s the route was little used except when work on the main line required diversions, finally closing in 1991. Though the track is lifted the line retains a ‘mothballed’ status so has not been severed or built on, and is frequently proposed for reopening either as a heavy rail route or part of the Tyne and Wear Metro.

Wapping Bridge
Carries the A183 over the disused Leamside Railway - passed by on the Weardale Way.
Closed to all traffic by 1990, it ran from Tursdale Junction to the Durham Coast Line at Pelaw Junction.
There are discussions afoot, to a possible re-opening. Gravel stones on the trackbed appear to be in place.
