National Coal Board Opencast Executive Swalwell Disposal Point, near Newcastle-On-Tyne.  Ex-WD 75167 (Bagnall 2755, built 1944) stands at the shed.  The date is late 1972.  Two
 diesels have been bought from British Railways to take over from the steam locos, which are now in reserve.  Within a year 75167 will be scrapped and its partner 71515 will pass to the East Somerset Railway for preservation.  
Swalwell Disposal Point closed about 1990.
