Jump to search
The Pockerley Waggonway in Beamish Museum is in the south east corner of the site, outside and to the east of the tramway oval. The short line runs west-east, with a shed and the only platform at the western end. The shed tracks and the platform line converge into a single line around halfway along the waggonway, with a run-around loop taking up most of the eastern half.
