Beamish Open Air Museum

Very rare track: this narrow gauge line on a wooden viaduct is part of the rebuilt coal mine at Beamish. This picture was taken as I stood by a locked gate, so it is very likely that neither people nor wagons have recently travelled over this line, which represents a waste line (notice the absence of puns here) taking waste from the pit head to the nearest tip.
