One-off chance to see stretch of the world's oldest wooden railway
Sections of an internationally important early wooden railway discovered on Tyneside have returned to the region after almost three years of preservation treatment. The late 18th century waggonway, whose rails would have carried horse-drawn coal carts, was unearthed in 2013 during a dig before Shepherd Offshore was due to begin development work of the former Neptune shipyard site in Walker in Newcastle.
