The fifth in a series of videos from Beamish Open Air Museum, and the final part of a two-parter.
This part is of the small railway that runs at the museum, and the locomotive is "Sir Cecil A Cochrane", which worked at Redheugh Gas Works after being built 1948, and named after the then chairman of the Newcastle and Gateshead Gas Company. The loco is one of only a handful of locomotives that survive from that line, and it spent all it's working life on that line apart from a brief loan to St Anthony's tar works which was close by. Preserved in 1971, and still in working order.
