South Tynedale Railway (Narrow gauge)

[Craig]

Here's a selection of photos taken at the South Tynedale Railway last weekend. It is a narrow gauge line which crosses the Northumberland/Cumbria border in the Pennines at the southern end of an old branch line from Haltwhistle to Alston.

Locos on display at Alston station.

I'd not been up there for years and saw they were having a steam gala, so thought it would be worth a look. There used to be a few disused stations on one of the other branches up there that I was going to have a look at but didn't get time. I'll have another trip up that way sometime.
