Carlisle at Night - October 2001 - The Flaming Chopper!!
Переглядів 324Рік тому
What seemed like a run of the mill night filming trains at Carlisle ended with the Fire Brigade being called to an incident involving 4 Class 20's on the 6C46 Flasks from Sellafield to Kingmoor Yard. Other traffic seen includes plenty of Sheds on HAAs as Coal was still bouyant from Falkland Yd to the Aire Valley, Container traffic, Enterprise trains including 56072 on the Hoyer working to Tees ...
Barnetby 2001
Переглядів 2172 роки тому
Another evening spent at Barnetby in Summer 2001 witnessing Grids, Tugs and the odd Shed hard at work on various traffic flows to and from Humberside. In fact, such was the volume of traffic passing the station that some Locos were crawling towards the camera having been held awaiting the freight ahead to clear the long sections associated with the semaphore signalling in and around the station
Newport 2001

Whilst there may have been a lack of Class 37's there was no shortage of Freight with Class 60's predominant on Wagonload, Steel, Oil and Scrap workings. Right at the end of this clip is the astonishing sight of a loaded MGR train passing Southampton which was heading from the Western Docks to Didcot Power station which was seen on my way home
An evening at Doncaster
Переглядів 5332 роки тому
One of many visits to Doncaster for the evening but this one is unique. There used to be FOUR Northbound Enterprise trains passing the station in the space of an hour, a Warrington Arpley, a Deanside, a Tees Yard and a Mossend. On this evening, all four were Class 56 hauled!! Sit back and enjoy and look out for 56116 on ''Coal Tubs''!!

Part of an evening session at Carlisle when the traffic levels ramp up after 10pm. We see 86's, 90's and several 92's plus pairs of DRS 37s each way on the Malcolm Group trains to and from Daventry. Several sheds also show themselves along with 47746 on a ballast train. All in all some great variety to be had
Knabbs Bridge and Croxton - 1st May 2001
Переглядів 3782 роки тому
A video taken 21 years ago to the day!! Filming starts on Knabbs bridge near Barnetby where we see MGRs, Ore trains, Oil trains and the 6D65 Doncaster to Immingham 'Enterprise' service. My apologies for occasionally blocking the shot whilst taking pictures, especially when 58041 passes!!! I then move to Croxton Farm crossing on the climb up from Brocklesby where the loaded trains leaving Humber...
Newport - May 2001
Переглядів 5012 роки тому
Whilst there may be plenty of sheds in this clip, this is a reminder of just how busy Newport was. There are quite a few clips with 2 Freights in shot and one sequence with THREE Freights in the station trying to head West!! MGRs to Llanwern and Aberthaw rattle through with the eclectic HAAs and plenty of Steel trains pass along with other commodities
Lineside at Melton Ross

We are back in 2001 again and i spent lots of time in the Barnetby area during this year. My only footage shot at the lineside at Melton Ross is captured here with the usual fayre of 56, 60 and 66's on Freight traffic plus a section afterwards at the station at Barnetby
Wrawby Jn - 29/3/2001

I spent a foggy morning down at Wrawby Jn filming the numerous Freights that pass this busy location and we see the staple motive power of 56,66 and Class 60 in charge of trains to and from Humberside
Barnetby - 28th March 2001
Переглядів 6052 роки тому
After a session at Doncaster i made my way to Barnetby along with my fellow 'Grid Chaser' Mark Finch. We spent the afternoon on the station filming the numerous Freights passing through the station starting with 60047 on a short 6D66 Immingham to Doncaster. Several Tank train and Coal trains pass the station mainly in the hands of Class 60's and 56's. There are several excellent Grid thrashes a...
Newport - March 2001

Almost 21 years to the day is this clip of heavy Freight at Newport. The 66's had certainly made their mark on the South Wales freight scene however Class 60's were certainly to the fore in this video. We also see Class 67s on Mail traffic and a Class 47 on a Liner but No 37s or 56s :-( And yes, i was mad enough to go when it was snowing and yes it was bloomin freezing!!

Переглядів 6952 роки тому
This is effectively the missing link in a 12 hour session at Carlisle in 1999 showing the session from early evening until just before 11pm. We see 2 pairs of 20s on flasks amongst the more regular traffic including Liner's, MGR's, Mail trains and wagonload traffic including 37219 on an empty Log train
Carlisle at Night - 1999 - Part 2
Переглядів 8422 роки тому
Despite it being 1999 we only had 2 sheds through Carlisle and they were in the early evening. This video is shot under the harsh station lights and we see a variety of traffic passing the station. This 27 minute clip is just a 4 hour stint on the station as the station clock shows 22.50 as 6004 departs South. There are three superb Grid departures from the station, the best being 56091 'Stanto...
