South Pelaw Junction
6833 heads up the Consett line past South Pelaw Junction on 20 August 1971 with what appear to be empty coal hoppers from Tyne Yard to one of the still working collieries on the line. (At that time the phrase 'taking coals to Newcastle' still had some resonance!) The direct line to Tyne Dock passed through the extreme right hand span of the bridge in the background.
