Seaton Bank Top in the early 1900s as a Worsdell 2-cylinder T Class 0-8-0 brings empty coal hoppers up the bank past the signal box.
The Rainton and Seham Railway is still in place at this time but would be gone by 1914.
Times were about to also change for the NER line through Seaton Bank Top.
For decades it had been the main line between Sunderland and West Hartlepool, but in the near future the NER would open its Durham Coast line from Ryhope through Seaham to Cemetary Junction near Hartlepool.
I know the feeling Lewisner.The funny thing is that when I was tidying Seaton Bank up for my earlier photo I found that I had got the place utterly wrong as when I did it I didn't have the NLS website to help so I may just have to grimace and change it all. I did once find a splendid photo of a train double headed with a Class 40 and a Deltic on the front.
Hi, here is the signalling diagram for Ryhope Grange circa 1905. Hope it is of use.
