- Die Tanfield Railway ist eine Museumseisenbahn bei Gateshead in Tyne and Wear und County Durham, England. (de)
- Le chemin de fer de Tanfield, dans le comté de Durham, en Angleterre, est le plus ancien du monde, édifié en 1727 dans la région de Newcastle par une association de producteurs charbonniers de la région, pour relier les mines des collines au fleuve Tyne. Le réseau est construit en reprenant des tronçons de rails qui existaient auparavant, la voie permet en particulier d'augmenter la production de Tanfield Moor et d'autres mines de charbon. Construit à une époque où n'existait pas encore de locomotives, mais simplement des wagonnets circulant sur des rails en bois avec l'aide de la traction humaine ou animale, vite remplacés par des rails en fer, le Chemin de fer de Tanfield emprunte l'Arche de Causey, haute de 20 mètres, à l'endroit où il franchit une étroite vallée. Long de huit miles, des collines de Tanfield et Marley au terminal charbonnier de Dunston, en utilisant la gravité naturelle du parcours, la ligne est reprise au XIXe siècle par la société Brandling Junction Railway et ferme en 1964. La partie la plus ancienne de la ligne daterait de 1650. (fr)
- The Tanfield Railway is a 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge heritage railway in Gateshead and County Durham, England. Running on part of a former horse-drawn colliery wooden waggonway, later rope & horse, lastly rope & loco railway. It operates preserved industrial steam locomotives. The railway operates a passenger service every Sunday, plus other days, as well as occasional demonstration coal, goods and mixed trains. The line runs 3 miles (4.8 km) between a southern terminus at East Tanfield, Durham, to a northern terminus at Sunniside, Gateshead. Another station, Andrews House, is situated near the Marley Hill engine shed. A halt also serves the historic site of the Causey Arch. The railway claims it is "the world's oldest railway" because it runs on a section dating from 1725, other parts being in use since 1621. The railway is run by three bodies: "Friends of Tanfield Railway", "Tanfield Railway Trust" which owns the railway, the locomotives and rolling stock and "The Tanfield Railway Company" which operates the railway. "The Tanfield Railway Company" is split into four departments; each has a manager and director: Engineering who maintain locomotives, Operations including drivers and guards, Carriage & Waggon who preserve carriages, and Commercial which operates shops, events and the passenger side of operations.
