An A2-hauled freight has just crossed the Coast Road heading north away from Newcastle in 1962. The train is about to pass the fogman's hut near the site of the former Little Benton sidings, just under a mile short of Benton Quarry Junction. The eastern end of the WD&HO Wills cigarette factory (now luxury flats) can be seen in the right background.
