In the Newcastle Journal of 19 May 1855, the company was selling four draught horses, having been replaced by a locomotive engine. Applications were to be made either to Joseph Harrison at Radcliffe Colliery or to Harrison, Carr and Co of Broad Chare, Newcastle.
This must be the mode of transport for the coal wagons on the line to Amble? Bet that was an interesting machine.
