7-of-20) On 15/6/87 I found activity on the incline from Seaham colliery down to Seaham harbour. NCB 0-6-0DH diesel locomotive no. 20-110-704 was the locomotive in action on the incline that day. Here it starts down the incline with a train of wagons with a load of coal or spoil.
All traffic on the incline ceased a month later, from 17/7/87, when British Rail took over all coal and spoil movement. The incline track was lifted in 1988.
