Disused railway trackbed at Preston le Skerne This track bed was part of an 18 mile railway which ran from Shildon to Newport near Middlesbrough. When originally opened it was operated by electric locomotives which lasted for 20 years until 1935 when the railway reverted to steam. The railway was built to move high volumes of mineral traffic from the Durham coal fields to Teesside. It also served Royal Ordnance Factory No59 which was situated at what is now Newton Aycliffe during the Second World War.
