North Seaton 1872 - 2024 - a photo on Flickriver

North Seaton 1872 - 2024

            I took a quick detour to North Seaton on the way back from work today to grab a couple of shots of North Seaton signal box. 

I knew that closure and demolition was coming sometime soon and was hoping for an opportunity for a few final shots with some good weather, but no such luck and with the news that the box is due to be demolished this weekend it was very much a last chance to see.

North Seaton box is one of the oldest on the line dating from 1872, although it has been much modified since then. It used to serve the station here before it was downgraded to a gate box guarding the busy A196 road.

The third shot is of 60056 working the 6N86 09:11 Jarrow to Lynemouth loaded biomass back in 2021.

8th March 2024.
