Friends of the National Railway Museum (North East Branch) Talk

The speaker for the meeting is Chris Lloyd and the topic is 'Teesdale Tracks and Derailing Dukes'. The talk will explore how the railways came into Teesdale following a 20 year battle with the local landowner and some very strange goings on which resulted in some of the most extraordinary viaducts anywhere in the world.

All are welcome to attend. Admission and parking at Locomotion: The National Railway Museum at Shildon is free. For more information, please contact the museum on 01388 771439.
