Manors Station (mainline not Metro) is good for photos, if you position yourself right you can get the Tyne Bridge in the background. Good views can be had from the Multi-storey car park next to Station. Easiest way is to get train from Newcastle (1 minuite journey, sparse Newcastle - Morpeth Northern service) but its about a 7-10 minuite walk from Newcastle Stn. Chillingham Road on the Metro is a canny location as its adjacent to Heaton Depot, but the pallasade fencing is a pain (good views of Depot throat from footbridge).
Freight wise you be lucky to see anything other than 66's and the odd 67 light engine, the 60 on the Jarrow tanks and the DRS flasks do not pass through station.
