North East Steam workings from West Hartlepool shed.

This video has been re uploaded after making some corrections to the image quality. Hope this makes for better viewing. The content was filmed by me on an 8mm Bolex clockwork cine camera and most of the soundtrack was also recorded at the time of filming. Locations include in and around West Hartlepool including the engine sheds, Billingham old station, Norton , Stockton, Bowesfield Junction, Thornaby, Eaglescliffe and Yarm. The West Hartlepool shed was home to Q6, K1, 4MT 2-6-0, and WD 2-8-0 locomotives and the predominant traffic was goods and minerals, particularly coal. There are shots of coal traffic on the inland route north of Hartlepool via Heselden bank which connected with several collieries in South Durham. For variety I have included a couple of shots of rail tours which passed through this region.
