Clip from Amber's 70s doc on self-incline railway that ran down to the River Tyne. DVD (Tyne Documentaries) from www.amber-online.com. Visit www.sidetv.net for changing programme of films/productions from Amber & friends.
Deecee905. Many years ago I watched the cable trucks go from Stanley (full) to Dunston and they hauled the empty trucks back up. So simple and cheap. No Loco
I was there at the weekend 13/5/07 and bought the VHS version. 23 mins. but very good. I managed to video the incline at work in the 1980s See Industrial Locos Northeast video.
Yep. The simple genius of it is really appealing. Carbon neutral transportation of material (albeit waggon loads of carbon compounds!)

I really like the way the shunter splits the waggons with a hard, well-aimed hit.
