Welcome to the Arthur Growler UA-cam Channel, Main focus is freight trains, line side & on railway stations in the North Wales & Cheshire region, including the local borderlands line around Hawarden Bridge. Trains in general !! Try to have a day out on the railway at least once a week. Like to explore Steam + Diesel Galas on preserved Railways and visit the local Llangollen Railway. Recently purchased a Drone so hopefully add some more character to footage Hope you like the UA-cam Channel..... Enjoy :-)
Hanson Penmaenmawr QUARRY - Loading up Colas 70802 with Granite Stone
#arthurgrowler
Trip down the North Wales Coast to Penmaenmawr Quarry to see the loading process of the granite stone.
Colas locomotive 70802 comes off the main line into the quarry sidings were it splits the load into two, runs round and reversing down further in the sidings were loading starts.
Managed to capture the Colas RHTT pass by with perfect timing, with 70802 placed behind.
Inbound
4D61 - Longport Lr to Penmaenmawr Quarry
Outbound
6K33 - Penmaenmawr Quarry to Longport Lr
Penmaenmawr granite quarry is located on the north coast of Wales between Conwy and Bangor on the hillside close to the towns of Penmaenmawr to the east and Llanfairfechan to the west just off the main A55 trunk road. The offices and stock piles are at the bottom while the mineral extraction area is on top of the hill.
There is a long history of quarrying at Penmaenmawr and much evidence of previous working areas. It once supplied granite setts for road paving all over the world via a jetty into Conwy Bay but now produces crushed stone for local markets.
Thanks for Watching 👀 👍

So thrilling….. 🥱
Thanks for Watching 👍
Great shot.
Cheers 🍻

Nice to catch it in the day light
That was a very Enjoyable Vid Paul 👍👍
Nice One 👍 Attracted some interest this one
Great drone footage mate, did they run out off aggregate for last wagon😂👍👍
Think it just run out of time and left on time back to Longport
Is there still a ship loading facility at this quarry ?
Don’t think so !! There is a jetty before you get to Colwyn Bay. Can see on the A55 road but I haven’t seen it used for some time
@@arthurgrowler5749 Thanks !
No that's Llandulas Quarry but i don't think it's used anymore.
Excellent drone footage,really enjoyed it…
Thanks Dave 👍
Did they miss loading the last wagon ? (in the final scene)
@@markstarmer3677 Gather so…. Talking to a regular he mentioned that’s normal as the train needs to depart on time
@arthurgrowler5749 well you learn something every day. Thanks for the reply.
Yo I live in north wales aswell we had snow yesterday and it only lasted an hour 😢
@@ChloeSpence-j4d More on the way they reckon!!
Good to see the aggregates industry still thriving by rail in North Wales. I think the Land Recovery brand was initially recycling old ballast from Scotland. Great pictures and sounds 👍
Yes good to see the quarry back in action and the slate movement over in Llandudno Junction
Very Excellent prasantion.
Cheers 🍻 Glad you enjoyed it
Do we know if this is a regular working?
@@JeanPierre-jb5ln Been working a couple of times during the week lately.
Great to see these operations and the surroundings 😊
Great vid fella. 👍🏻
Cheers Pal 👍
Great video Paul, I liked all the footage around the quarry, do you know if its going to be a weekly working.
Been twice a week over the last couple of weeks now. It’s abit him and miss before that. Suppose it’s just on demand!!!
Love it. The 56 and the 70 ‘toning’ at each other ! Haha. Brilliant.
Just up your street 😀
Great drone shots. Love the Carlsberg branded wagons. I’ve never seen them before. As a teenager We went camping to Penmaenmawr around about 1974/75. I wasn’t interested in trains at the time but remember walking through a bridge under the tracks to get to the beach. Missed out on some fantastic BR blue traffic. 👍🚂
Busy place years ago. Remember the 25’s 31’s & 37’s up and down the North Wales Coast 🏴 on a daily basis
Great 😊
Thanks Richard 👍
Excellent Paul 👍 👍
Cheers Kev 👍
Nice work mate..👍👍
@@alexs5700 Cheers Alex 👍
Awesome Paul 👌
It was bucketting down in Conwy so I didn't bother going out!
It was ok for an hour or so here, popped to the foot crossing on the way to the supermarket !!! Mind you I got caught out waiting for the Dee Marsh Steel this morning, hammered down 🌧️🌧️
Amazing video
Superb catch on 57003 on convoy
Absolutely 👍
👍
Nice
Built in Cheshire. Recycled in Cheshire. Sad to see. Hopefully they will have yielded sufficient parts to keep working 90’s running for a few years yet.
@darrenhillman8396 I would have thought so pal. Good in one way but sad in another !!
Really liked this one and great you got the 47 with BR blue-and-grey Mk IIs in tow! Some of those freights nearly assumed American proportions!!! Thanks for filming and uploading! 👍👍👍👍
The 47 ended up failing at Stafford !! Another one was sent to rescue
Great video Paul, looks like a few hours well spent. Not been there, but must try it one day.
Cheers Phil 👍 Only down the road from Casey Lane so you should find it ok. Been on a couple of occasions it’s been fine
@@arthurgrowler5749 thanks Paul. Been looking on google earth, looks like there is a footpath from Chorlton Lane?
@ park up opposite the church and walk down the public footpath 👍
Absolutely Stunning That was Paul 👍
Cheers Buddy 👍
I’ve found a class 40 wired for sound, thrash DVD to watch where there is proper EE piston clatter in Scotland. I can see why you like class 56s now because they have the same engine type being a V16. It might be what I heard at midnight from Colas, 56090 at Clifton Road bridge, Rugby on loaded autoballasters on Saturday night, of 9th November 2024.
@@Davo37609 They do sound well when pulling a heavy load
They clag well on a heavy load too because there was loads of blue smoke I could smell after it had passed. I was in the right place at the right time lol.
@ 👌
@1:10 what is the location? interested in the fishing lake :D
@@DugmerJunction apparently there is fish in them pools but it’s owned by the local farmer who doesn’t like people going near them never mind fishing in them. Talking to a local while we were there !!!!
@ aww that’s a shame fishing and railways together is always enjoyable. I used to fish close to Westbury station so you could have the best of both worlds
@ That sounds great 👍. There are ponds to fish the north end of Acton Bridge Station only a field away from the main line !!! Just something I noticed while visiting
@@arthurgrowler5749 thanks for the tip i will check it out.
@DugmerJunction No Problem
When I went down the station everyday a person saw me & I got beaten up in Rugby, when trains were good years ago, because some people don’t’ want to understand what real trains are about. Mind you I bet a class 66 sounds good on 25 autoballasters when your in the right place at the right time !! That’s got a decent rake for a 56 on this video.
The 56’s still do some heavy work these days. Sorry to here about your bad experience in Rugby 🙁
What cheered me up was that piston clatter from Colas, 56090 on loaded autoballasters last Saturday night. It made one hell of a racket !!
@@Davo37609 Nice One 👍
Great selection again especially that 4 loco convoy 🎉
Hi Norman Went for the convoy and stayed till mid afternoon. A lot of delays and cancellations on the WCML
Another mega location, Paul. Great vid. 👍🏻
Yes mate 👍 Do like this place 👌
Great footage 👌😊
Thanks Richard 👍
You put together a great video Paul, this is a excellent place for our hobby, I was there two weeks ago but I'm behind with uploading my footage. You take care Mike.
It’s a good place to visit for sure. Nice to chat with one of the locals too (Scottish Guy) thanks for watching and look forward to see your footage 👍
Excellent Footage Paul Belter That 👍
@@37418 Cheers Kev 🍻 Much Appreciated 👍
I believe Land Recovery Services was recently acquired by Aggregate Industries which is in itself owned by Holcim which also controls the company "Lafarge"
Yes believe so. Be interesting what happens to the business growth and the Class 60’s parked up in the disused quarry
Great catch thanks for the great video on channel thanks lee
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Good stuff pal 👍🏻
@@desdemona77 Cheers Pal 👍
That opening shot at Chester is superb! A great video overall; thank you for this! 😃
Thanks Dave 👍 Shame the Crompton wasn’t in the front departing from Chester…..
@arthurgrowler5749 Not to worry; the Class 47s have become absolute classics in their own right they have become like old friends...😊
@davidcrook5511 absolutely 💯
two of my favorite things, mucky 56's and big yellow earthmovers...fantastic.
👌
Great video 😊 👍
Nice One 👍
Good vid,cheers mate
Thank You 👍
Nice work 😊
Great video, thank you! I always wondered why GBRF chose the 56 to modify rather than the 60s (better traction system and lots available)….Does anyone know?
It's amazing that those two are still intact .. 😕
Even surprising the cabs are still intact never mind the 2 not touched, on the outside anyway !
@arthurgrowler5749 yeah.. I wonder if they're going to be sold that way .. to exhibitors .. I did wonder if the NRM or If Barrowhill may have acquired one .. but at this rate, with the lack of progress for the remaining twelve at Crewe IEMD, they'd more likely want one in better condition. 90028 could go to York given that it was named there in 2019.
@ Wonder what the plan is for the remaining DB locos at Crewe Electric ⚡️
@arthurgrowler5749 hopefully, Freightliner are waiting for DB to reduce their value to potential buyers. There is no reason why Freightliner don't have them already, lined up at Basford Hall, other than price. Clearly, the paths they operate could be more regularly electric. Ie 4M87/4M88/4M63/4S88 etc are currently regularly electric but not exclusively so .. the workings for Malcolm in the future could potentially be so as well
@johnson_street_IEMD Hope to see them in the future. Wasted at the moment!!
To see the 90's scrapped just shows how the english government don't give a hoot about our loved locos. The 90's were part of england, the country that's no longer cared for. Very sad.
They promote a greener environment, seems strange seeing them rot away and now not with us !!
Great video
