BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984. All footage can be viewed on the British Pathé website. www.britishpathe.com/
"Sentiment is not allowed to stand in the way of progress." As this may be an unfortunate truth, let us however be thankful as there are still many of these locomotives that are preserved to this day.
Much of the progress was ill advised. My local railway was resignalled with new equipment in 1962 and closed in 1967 with many of the 5 year old signals cut up with oxy acetylene torches.
Poetic when those very diesels are now chopped up
Percy said,
"Engines on the Other Railway aren't safe now. Their controllers are cruel. They don't like engines anymore. They put them on cold damp sidings, and then; Percy nearly sobbed, they . . . they c-c-cut them up."
“Even as for one who has normally been advised to be against steam, I myself see scrapping as a cruel, unusual and abhorrent fate. Into many ways is it such a wrong thing... even though, after a supposed test, I may face the same pain-filled demise. I can only hope the wreck will kill me beforehand.”
- Type 46 diesel locomotive 46009, before the Nuclear Flask Test
Yes it is so upsetting that steam engines do get replaced by diesels but by 1987 the diesels got scrapped from service
Ya right there. Hadn't volunteers helped save the steamers, they would've been cut up too. It's all because of those diesels, they're all devils....

"So these may one day be shells or bombs...or perhaps just peaceful machinery."
Serious foreshadowing right there.
I thought the music was very appropriate. Scrapping steam locos and recycling metal is a very important part of managing waste machinery and making good use of the salvage.
@d. yu You don't have knowledge to comment. I don't think you know much about steam loco scrapping.
@@PreservationEnthusiast Guys what are you doing ? Arguing on trains that you will never drive or even see live ? Yes its a pity cause they are not trains they are a work of art since they are hand made and beautiful to look thats it
@@dimitrispaliogiannis7953 Look, I agree with the notion that there beautiful, and works of art. But you have to understand that even though they look good, they weren't very efficient, that's not to say they are bad. Also, in reality there just metal, metal that has been heated and cooled, and worked to oblivion. Scraping can be good, it is a form of recycling, something we should all be doing. Sadly the steam area is gone, but we can keep moving forward, to a better day.
The 2nd line you mentioned chills me to the bone. It was taped in 1937 which by then the Japanese were butchering the Chinese and then 2 years later in 1939 you had the start of war in Europe and by 1941 another 2 years later... America would need all that steel for "shells or bombs"
Hundreds of men worked together, tirelessly for months on end to have these glorious Ironhorse is built… Just for it to be completely cut down in a matter of a week

@@PreservationEnthusiast Because I stumbled across this video out of curiosity, okay?!
We used to sit besides the track,
Watching trains go clickety clack.
We'd count each carriage passing by,
And smell the smoke that filled the sky.
A trick that made our parents pale,
Was lay our ears upon the rail
To listen for a steady drumming,
And know that soon a train was coming.
Then back we'd stand with cap in hand,
Our little hearts apounding.
We had no fear as we stood near,
And heard the whistle sounding.
Excitement there beyond compare,
The train had come at last.
And as a boy I'd jump for joy
As it went puffing past.
With widened eyes we'd watch the skies
Filled with smoke and steam.
Of things we did when we were kids,
This would be the cream.
But that's all gone. They've 'progressed' on.
There's something new each day.
And on the track we feel the lack,
The steam has passed away.
May the golden age of steam locomotives rest in peace.
Did you find this or write this? It's fantastic.
Yes I did write this, it took a while.
Yes the golden age! Ah the good ol' days!
What a smashing poem. There's nothing to beat the sound, or look of a steam locomotive... that's why so many enthusiasts like visiting steam heritage railways.
U made me cry this is beautiful 😭😭😢😭😭😢😭😭
My favorite character Oliver escaped from scrap with the help of Douglas, they made 75 engines of Oliver’s class, and it’s good to know that 4 of them are preserved to this day, it’s interesting how Thomas, the most famous character in the show was based off of a steam class that only had 10 engines made, and they were all scrapped

@@PreservationEnthusiast Well thanks for the location, but why tell me about the one preserved Billinton E4 I already knew of?
I vaguely remember as a youngster going somewhere on the train with my parents and grandparents (possibly down to Kent from the Midlands to visit relatives) and we passed a huge yard populated with steam locomotives, one or two actually running and the rest stationary or in various stages of being dismantled. I honestly can't remember where it was though. I even remember feeling so very sad at that time.
I remember having a similar feeling as a child when I saw the derelict arm of a canal on our canal boat holiday.
Luckily, I remembered enough about the holiday to know where it was.
It was the Droitwich Canal off the Worcester & Birmingham. Since restored.
Once my parents showed me a video like this because as a kid I was confused as to why there are less steam engines than diesels. I cried.
That line in the 1937 film "becoming bombs or shells.....or perhaps just peaceful machinery" Its crazy even a few years before it started war seemed inevitable, but im willing to bet this narrator had no idea what the next decade would look like.
Everybody sort of knew a war was coming but most were clinging to hope it would die out. A decent enough write-up here. www.historynet.com/winston-churchills-prewar-effort-to-increase-military-spending.htm

in the 60s when scrapping began of steam locos began , diesels were seen as revolutionary , well , after 1976 , they would start to see their end aswell , with most being scrapped by 1982. Then came Another gen of diesels and electrics in the late 80s and early 90s , then another from the late 90s to the 2000s and now the most recent generation starting in 2018.

Ultimately, scrap was the fate of any locomotives that weren't set aside as Museum exhibits for a good hundred years, and the preservation movement couldn't save all of them. In a way it's surprising that the steam locomotive lasted as long as it did but I guess it shows how good it was in the end. You can tell by the tone of the film that preservation hadn't started in force just yet, because it seems to be something that hasn't occurred to the film makers.

This is just too painful for me to watch, they could have persevered all of these locomotives instead of cutting them up for scrap

It's a shame that the eastern region of BR cut up almost all the steam loco's before they were saved - Now where is a B17 Spirit of Sandringham Newbuild - Holden F5 Newbuild and a Holden D16 Claud Hamilton New build - Three types of loco that were cut up here, it's a real shame
Mile End Park I Heard That Your One Of The Claud Hamilton New Build People
Popular story has it that one of the Claud Hamiltons was earmarked for preservation, but the shed staff only put up one "Not for Scrapping" sign on the engine, and when the scrapman arrived at the depot, he approached the "Claud" from the other side, and didn't see the notice until he was well stuck-in with his torch.
David Abramczyk not true. None were earmarked for preservation although one was vey close. The last Claud was very nearly saved by sir Alan bloom and preserved at Bressingham. He was prepared to give it a home and save it, but BR put too high a price for selling the Claud that Alan bloom could not shell out in one go, so the Clauds became extinct.
The D16's were all scrapped in 1948
Anand R. Misir also not true. The last Claud was no 62613 and was scrapped in 1959. This was the Claud Alan bloom wanted to save
3:42 "From the engine of the past of is born the engine of the future" *shows another steam engine*

B12 61572 was stored at Stratford but there was a fund-raising programme and the engine was saved- otherwise it would have joined these unhappy N7 engines and been reduced to scrap metal. There was no sentiment in the management of BR in those days- steam was going- and it was going to go fast leaving no lingering remains.

I'd love one covering the building of the multilple transport networks we have from different canals to train-routes and eventually Motorways.
Who else is here because of Thomas & Friends, because of how scrapping was mentioned various times in the The Railway Series and Television Series? Now we know why Awdry was heartbroken at the scrapping of steam.
Hello There, Decent Overview and great Narration, keep it up! Cheers Peter
This was butchery. In 1968 when all steam locomotives were withdrawn, they were in pretty much perfect running condition. The only reason I see them being sold for scrap is because of running costs. Look at the labor that gets into firing up a steam locomotive compared to a then new class 55 deltic the difference is night and day. If you ask an ex steam locomotive driver or fireman what they thought about steam, most of the time they’ll tell you they absolutely loved it despite it being dirty and so on. Well what was to happen has happened and now we must all settle our differences, both steam and diesel enthusiasts , to save what’s left of all those spectacular pieces of engineering.
Might have been a good idea to keep more rights-of-way, though. Quite a few of them are needed.

Very little MK1 AC multiple unit stock's preserved, and it was the same on the SR where I worked on the DC third rail ones. Blue asbestos, corrosion, and being non - standard meant the shiny new Hastings diesels went mostly in 86/87 with the odd unit or car being retained for a while. Now the scrap all goes to India or China so they can dump low quality steel on us, while loads of jobs go down the pan here.

N7 class is 1920s technology that didn't last long. The New South Wales Government bought Beyer Peacock 60 class Garretts in 1956 from Manchester UK and English Electric 46 class Kombi vans so they could scrap the 57 class. The Garretts only lasted until the early 1970s, so they had an even shorter lifespan than the 1920s N7 class back in the UK and the funny thing is that the Beyer-Peacock Garrett is a much larger locomotive. As late as 1965 you could still find the 1880s 19 and 50 class head-to-head pulling out of Alexandria Goods Yard on a goods train despite Port Kembla diesel depot opening at the start of 1964.

@@PreservationEnthusiast i can tell you love to scrap steam engines from your name...Well your won't be scrapping any steam engines anytime soon...they all have been perserved...I wonder how you feel when over 200+ steam locomotives were saved from barry scrapyard and are being restored and put back in service.
The only thing you were ever scrap in your life when you worked in the scrapyard would be just diesels...#thestinkyones
