Hop into a 1950s railway carriage and ride in style for two miles along this industrial railway in Tyneside. Keep a look out for the factories and businesses that the railway used to serve. Hear the engines working hard as they climb steeply to the old coal fields.
Back in the station yard, see a variety of vehicles and wagons that used to travel along the tracks. Visit the museum to find out how steam engines were invented and say hello to Billy - one of the oldest surviving locomotives in the world, built in Newcastle in 1816.
