Documentary Evidence
The West Cramlington Wagonway was actually a branch of the Backworth Wagonway (HER ref. 1113), which split from that line near Percy Main at NZ 3326 6775. It subsequently divided into two lines which ran to the West Cramlington and East Holywell Staiths in the Northumberland Dock (HER refs. 2119, 2120, 2111). There was an engine on each of these lines (HER refs. 2042 & 2043).
