Eastgate

View east along the overgrown track of the Weardale Railway at Eastgate, near the extremity of the line running from Bishop Auckland. The now privately owned former Eastgate station buildings and platform sit alongside the line, to the left. The track continues a short distance further west into the now demolished cement works site, whereas when the line continued on to Westgate and Wearhead it turned south just before the works to run over a, still extant, girder bridge over the River Wear. See image 74408 for the view looking west from same position.
