66 551 makes its way over the Carlin Howe viaduct with 6F24 12.00 Boulby Mine to Middlesborough. The A174 road was re-aligned after the lines closure in 1963 but following the decision to open the mine at Boulby a new viaduct was constructed in the early 1970's. The new line from Brotton to Boulby was opened on 4 April 1974 and has served the mine ever since.

As usual Jim goes for a different angle.
