S&DR200 Locomotion No.1

Replica of Locomotion No. 1

I had a great time Friday just gone in Shildon, watching the start of the replica journey along the Stockton and Darlington Railway of the Locomotion No. 1 (replica) as part of #railway200. The original journey took place on 27th September 1825 starting in Shildon making its way to Stockton. The original train was built by Robert Sephenson in Newcastle. I had my camera phone ready and this was the photo which I managed to take of the train.

Observation Hill, Durham

Durham City Landscape From Observation Hill Had a lovely walk to Observation Hill in Durham. Sadly we didn't bring a picnic with us, but there was a family there who did. They were able to enjoy the back drop of the Durham landscape while eating. Fortunately I did bring a drone to take a few pictures and video.
