Alston branch and north western scenes, 1976

26 photos taken in north western England in 1976, most of the Haltwhistle - Alston branch just before it closed. The 2 foot gauge South Tynedale Rly was subsequently established at Alston. Photos of its 25th anniversary gala in 2008 can be seen in the album for British narrow gauge railways.
