Relaxing ASMR Style Railway Journey - South Tynedale Steam Train Full Ride UK

Come and enjoy a trip down the second highest and one of the most talked about narrow gauge railways in the UK, on a very unique wood fired locomotive.
The South Tynedale Railway is a preserved, 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge heritage railway in Northern England and at 875ft is England's second highest narrow gauge railway after the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway in north Devon. The South Tynedale line runs from Alston in Cumbria, down the South Tyne Valley, via Gilderdale, Kirkhaugh and Lintley, then across the South Tyne, Gilderdale and Whitley Viaducts to Slaggyford in Northumberland.
The narrow gauge railway line is built on the track bed of the southern section former Alston Line, a standard gauge branch line between Haltwhistle and Alston which was closed by British Rail in May 1976.
The loco featured in this video is Green Dragon. Green Dragon is powered not by coal but wood briquettes made from waste virgin sawdust - the first locomotive in Europe to do so.
The locomotive was originally supplied to Umtwalumi Valley Estate in Natal in South Africa in 1937 and was used to haul sugar cane from the fields to a mill for processing, using sugar cane waste as fuel.

I am impressed by British ultra-modern, high-speed rail; it is exactly as I had imagined it.

Haha, this isn't our ultra modern rail, it's faster 😂😂

A beautiful rail line, a blue sky, the perfect combination.

Thank you so much, it rained all the day before and the day after, I was really lucky with the weather. The line is beautiful!

Excellent recording of this great line in outstanding weather it really exemplifies the beauty of the North Pennines. It’s a shame that the line will probably never reach Haltwhistle.

I bet the journey over Lambley Viaduct would be amazing! We can always hope!

@@TheTouristLine Yes being a single track structure you would have excellent views down to the South Tyne on both sides.
We live in hope but the cost of replacing missing infrastructure would be phenomenal not least the A69 Haltwhistle bypass which has breached the trackbed. Add to this that Lambley Station in it’s entirety including the trackbed is now privately owned.

I am proud of this one, but in reality the railway and the weather did the hard work, I was just there to capture it.
