South Hetton Colliery Railway

The South Hetton Colliery Railway was a County Durham colliery railway opened in 1832, serving the South Hetton Colliery near Hetton-le-Hole. The line was an early example of locomotive-worked colliery practice and used engines closely related to those at the neighbouring Hetton Colliery Railway of George Stephenson's design.

The line was eventually absorbed into the wider colliery railway network of east Durham. South Hetton Colliery itself closed in 1983, with the railway following soon afterwards.
