Background 1.0.2 The Weardale Line was originally part of the Stockton and Darlington Railway, which was the first public passenger steam railway in the world. The extent of the line which remains today was once part of a much wider network in the Bishop Auckland area. 1.0.3 It had played an important role for many years, especially for people commuting to and from work in the Darlington and Tees Valley areas as well as transporting bulk materials from the cement works at Eastgate until its closure in the early 1990's. 1.0.4 Two railway museums have since been located adjacent to the line.....one at the North Road station in Darlington and more recently, the National Railway Museum Annex, Locomotion, at Shildon.

He married and had eight children and was a converted Wesleyan Methodist. He manufactured and designed locomotives and other engines and worked with other significant railway individuals of the time, for example George and Robert Stephenson. He was responsible for manufacturing the first locomotive for Russia and British North America. It has been debated historically up to the present day whether Hackworth gained enough recognition for his work. Proponents of Hackworth have suggested that he invented of the ‘blast pipe’ which led to the success of locomotives over other forms of rail transport. His sons other relatives went on to be engineers. His eldest son, John Wesley Hackworth did a lot of work to promote his fathers memory after he died. His daughters, friends, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and ancestors to this day have worked to try and gain him a prominent place in railway history.

    Horden Railway – Transcript https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkDsEpj2rdk&feature=youtu.be Upbeat music plays [Text: Horden Railway Station] [Text: Chris Heaton-Harris MP. Minster of State, Department for Transport] Chris Heaton-Harris: Hi there. I’m delighted that Horden Station is opening today, congratulations to everyone involved in delivering this exciting project that I have no doubt will bring fantastic benefits to the people of Horden and the wider region too. People of Horden have been waiting almost sixty years to access rail services since the nearest station was closed under the beaching cuts. But now this vital community will at last be able to benefit from access to rail services that this new station brings. As you all know rail connectivity brings with it new opportunities, boosts the local economy and gives people greater access to jobs and education and I’m extremely proud that Horden Station is the seventh to be built using funding from the governments new stations fund, part of our wider restoring your railway fund. We’re committed to reversing some of the damaging beaching cuts of the past and want to use the power of transport to level up regions like the north east and unlock their economic potential so that everyone in our country can thrive. So, congratulations again to all that have worked so hard to make the opening of this station possible. I’m sorry I’m trapped here in my Westminster office and cannot visit the station today in person, but I look forward to being able to do so in the future.

  • North Eastern Railway Civil Engineering Drawings List
    North Eastern Railway Civil Engineering Drawings List Description: The collection includes a minority of architectural plans, along with drawings of structures such as bridges and viaducts, maps of permanent way routes and alterations, signalling plans and diagrams, with a variety of miscellaneous components for structures and infrastructure. The collection comprises approximately 3500 plans, diagrams and maps on paper, wax linen and linen- backed cartridge paper. System of arrangement: The original arrangement of the drawings has been lost and they derive from a wide variety of applications within the architectural and civil engineering genres. The drawings have therefore been listed in the rolls in which they were found, and every effort made to record the variety of numbering systems used at different times by the railway company departments involved in creating and storing the drawings, representative of the different types of drawing. There is no one single and consistent numbering arrangement. Physical Characteristics: The drawings survive in a variety of formats and sizes – there are wax linen tracings, colour washed linenbacked original office drawings, drawings on cartridge paper, blueprints and other copying processes. Administrative/Biographical History: The North Eastern Railway Company was formed in 1854 as an amalgamation of the York & North Midland Railway, the Leeds Northern Railway and the York, Newcastle & Berwick Railway. It continued to absorb other companies in the north eastern region of England over subsequent decades, including the Stockton & Darlington Railway, South Durham and Lancashire Union Railway and the West Hartlepool Railway. In 1923 the various railway companies of the United Kingdom were grouped into four large amalgamations.
