    Hi Pat, Just watched this with my dad, who fired steam trains on this line in the 1950's. He said they always went through this tunnel at speed. He calls the refuges the walls 'Man Holes'. Brought back some memories for him. Thanks.

The photo at 14.44 i took on a 60 sec exposure , I had to stay perfectly still and at the same time wave my torch about in front of me to light everything up and form myself as a silhouette.

    I would re-install a railway line and have it running around the estate or at least some type of line. Then get hold of steam locomotive and so on. Great for tourists and visitors to get a ride and history lesson. Also talk about bragging rights, to have your own steam locomotive, railway line and real proper old tunnel to run the train through. Great video with great pictures.

    Wow! What a great video! Adding the steam train sounds, was the perfect touch! So the owner didn't want to see a steam train go through his property! Now a days any railroad fan, would give their right arm to have that!!! Much blessings to you and yours, being sent from me, in the state of Michigan, U.S.A.

    My real name is Michael Charles McCluskey. My UA-cam name is just a variation of my nickname 'Wizard', and no, I'm not a real wizard, I'm just self-taught and well skilled in many things. I'm in the United States and from 100% Irish ancestry. but I love things of history from anywhere, most especially things pertaining to old and/or abandoned railroads. I enjoy your videos showing things of the past in Britain where I'll never get to visit. I would also like to thank you for using UA-cam and posting videos. Without UA-cam there are many things I would never get to see.

    Really cool. You'll have to explore the lines now gone of the Midland railway that ran through the peak district. It's really ashame they cut out that line it was so scenic running along the hillsides and rocks with tunnels and viaducts. Wish I could remember the name of that Midland line. But it did connect with Matlock they say.

    • @MrDegsy69
      @MrDegsy69 6 років тому

      YL Chen i am pretty sure Pat knows what he is doing. A bit of applied common sense goes a very long way indeed. It is not like going down a coal mine as these things had to be ventilated. Wearing Hi Vis would just be a joke in here. The only concessions i would make to safety is informing somebody of what i was doing in case i did get trapped by a collapse of some description. Given the age and general neglect of these tunnels a roof fall is a potential possibility as they are not inspected anywhere near regularly enough. Pat if you are reading this have you considered wearing a hard hat? I am not trying to wrap you up in cotton wool but loose bricks can fall. It looked particularly dodgy around that ventilation shaft where the tree had taken root into the brick wall of the shaft. I would think a shallow cut and cover would also have a greater likelihood of subsidence due to the lack of heavy backfill creating enough down pressure weight to fully bond the interlocking of the brick arches. I have seen this happen on hump back canal bridges a few times!
