Tanfield Railway

Post by redtoon1892 »

One of the UK's oldest working steam locomotives has arrived at a County Durham museum to help celebrate the region's railway heritage.

Furness Railway No. 20, built in 1863, has left its Lake District home to stay at Tanfield Railway for a gala event.

The locomotive is to be the star attraction at the Legends of Industry steam weekend on 13 and 14 September.
