Amateur footage of steam trains travelling along various branch lines around Durham. Trains are filmed passing though stations and through urban and rural landscapes. The film opens with a high angle view of an approaching steam engine [92097 a BR9F class locomotive built in Crewe working out of Tyne Dock] on lines just outside of Durham station(?) In the foreground a diesel engine edges slowly along a track in the opposite direction. The film cuts to a signal gantry, probably near Durham...

Amateur footage of steam trains travelling along various branch lines around Durham. Trains are filmed passing though stations and through urban and rural landscapes. The film opens with a high angle view of an approaching steam engine [92097 a BR9F class locomotive built in Crewe working out of Tyne Dock] on lines just outside of Durham station(?) In the foreground a diesel engine edges slowly along a track in the opposite direction. The film cuts to a signal gantry, probably near Durham station. The view changes to a countryside landscape. Another high angle view at the approach to Durham station. Enthusiasts gather at the vantage point to take photographs. The film cuts to the signal gantry where one of the signals is in a raised position. A steam engine [92097] reverses over the Durham Viaduct pulling a train of goods wagons. Next a view across a green valley and on the opposite side a steam passenger train makes its way. This followed by a more industrial setting, as steam passenger train heads towards the camera. The engine is the famous Flying Scotsman in characteristic green livery. The train heads away from the camera as the film ends.
