...I paid a visit to the Harton Colliery railway, last remnant of the South Shields, Marsden and Whitburn colliery system, and home to the "Westoe electrics", a fine collection of overhead-electric locomotives which worked the coal from Westoe colliery down to Harton Low Staithe on the Tyne.There's been a page on "Geoff's Rail Diaries" for some time - "Seaham and Harton"; in response to interest shown by a number of site visitors, here's the full set of photos taken at the time (yes, it's been another cold wet day here...). Visit "The Westoe Electrics" on the "Specials" pages.
