Woodburn
The 'Wansbeck Piper' ran from Newcastle Central to Woodburn via Morpeth on 2 October 1966 to mark the closure of the Wansbeck Valley line (which by then terminated at Woodburn). The train was double headed by Ivatt 2-6-0s 43063+43000. Here no 43063 is in the process of running round the 11 coach train at Woodburn, where the short headshunt required splitting the pair for the manoeuvre. See image 21165
