Ghost Train: Bishop Auckland to Durham (Lost County Durham Railway)

An animated past and present look at the lost railway line that once connected Bishop Auckland to Durham! It was originally built by the North Eastern Railway (NER) to provide rail transport access to coal mines in West County Durham. It closed under the Beeching Axe to passenger traffic in May 1964, and freight in 1968. Today it forms the major part of the 9 miles (14 km) Brandon to Bishop Auckland rail trail.
