LOCATION IDENTIFICATION NEEDED PLEASE

[PETEECKFORD]

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help by identifying this location [attachment=0]60019.jpg[/attachment]with 60019 hauling The Waverley tour on 12/11/1966. I do not know if it is heading north or south at the time but guess the gasholder at a former station is a good clue.
All help appeciated

Is Corbridge looking east remotely possible?

Is Corbridge looking east remotely possible?

i would say yes after looking at street view on google,the building in front of the gas holder can be seen and in the bottom lh corner can be seen the platform end sign,also the rugby /football feild is not built up

I agree that the topography is certainly right.

The website below - Northumbrian Railways - has some pictures of Corbridge, which I think confirm the location. Note the configuration of the end loading dock which can be seen on the original post.

The dates seem to fit too, no signal box and goods yard closed 1965.
