hi Les another great video good amount of locos about and the end bit of the 56 was great good to se them still running at speed nice to see the countryside as well its always beautiful up there looking forward to your next video please stay safe my friend
The Avanti and the TOE... I am content... oh, yeah, a lot of classic 37s and more with lots of freight! Seriously, another great production and mix of trains! Thanks for all you do, Les!
Serendipity at 9:56 - 3 trains in parallel. A curious crew change on the Class 90s - 2 off and only 1 on. Nice to know I'm not the only one that produces typos!
Always the case with my typing. Often a crew of two is replaced by one or vice versa. Sometimes crew working home and sometimes one is a 'shunter' I think. Glad you liked.
Thanks Phil. Plumpton is not bad for speed shots and panning. Couple of over bridges nearby too. Downside for northbound steam is that the drivers tend to shut off the steam effects along here.
always enjoy your videos from Carlisle and thanks for added all the information on workings too. Hope to have a trip to carlisle when the daylight gets a bit longer
Ive no idea about regular rostering - but it seems to involve a lot of moving between depots and yards after signing on. The snow jobs are done I think on spot hires so no doubt the crews at West Coast etc are on call-out.
cracking video Les looked quite busy as well some nice zooming Les out there at plumpton , what would they do without the duffs and the tractors for pushing snow ploughs lol no route 5 availability on 60s & 66s 😜 thanks for sharing matey stay safe a t b, Syd 👍
@@LeslieGilpinRailways, thanks Les, great that they have realised but should not have come to this , the thing is all the way through the railways that these people they employ in these top jobs know very little about running a railway 😟and that includes the govenment , hence the state of the railways, im sure me and you could do better🤣 Thanks for that info Les much appreciated take care 👍
Top work as always Les. Interestingly, the manual points were set against the class 37's when leaving the sidings. I know on some tram systems that is how they work normally.
@@LeslieGilpinRailways I noticed that as well Les, from the look of it they are manual points so wouldn't the move have damaged the mechanism? Whatever I'm not sure it was a legal move by the driver.
@@LeslieGilpinRailways thanks Les, maybe you can get away with it on manual points whereas a run through on power operated points would certainly do some damage.
Ravenstruther was closed as a coal loading point many years ago. Cloburn Quarry near Biggar have bought it as a loading point to transport their stone ballast contract with Network Rail.
Thanks to both respondents, I knew it closed along with the Ayrshire open cast sites but didn't know about the stone loading. Makes perfect sense though.
Absolutely no idea! The adhesion of 8 axles against 6 may be a reason - and DB like Freightliner have 90s available. I wonder if DB will strt using their 92 on these workings
Thanks! The 37s are up in Scotland now. Just two 47s remaining at Carlisle, one 47 at the back of High Wapping and the other alongside the DRS Thunderbird in the Holding Sidings
Thanks!. The question everyone asks! The long yard to the north of Carlise, sometimes referred to as Kingmoor Yard. In 1963 when the massive hump yard was built it was New Yard. Then as it became a large but simpler yard various names have been applied. A friend ex BR etc. maintains it is now Network Yard as he put a sign up at one of the road entrances to that effect. Colas just call their siding where the timber comes out Carlisle Yard. The online systems taken from whatever system Network Rail use still refer to it as New Yard. Well, you did ask!.
Hello Les, excellent video as usual but I think you might have made a typo error. DB Cargo 66011 2C97 1009 New Biggin British Gypsum to Carlisle N.Y. Should it not be a Class 6 reporting number? Regards Ian.

Thanks. It was worth the drive out to see the 56 showing her paces!
Hi Les More good stuff from the Carlisle area, liking the 56, keep warm out there. Thanks
Thanks Peter.
Good to see the 37,s and 47 👍
Yes totally unexpected
Great share Leslie Gilpin always look forward to your great Rail Fanning journeys Thanks 👍🏻🚂🔔
Thanks Mike
Another great video Les
Thanks John
More superb action, thanks Les.
Thanks David!
Great coverage 😍👌
Thanks
Very nice scenes at Plumpton Leslie, and the sound of the 2 37's. Nice. All the best.
Thanks Tim!
Great horns on that 70!!
Hehe thought you'd notice that!
Great video with some great catches 😊
Thanks!
Brilliant footage Leslie 👏 - I've add anther comment to the one about Ravenstruther.
Yes I saw that Euan. Thanks

Great video. Great to see plenty of vintage locos, still busy. Plumpton, looks a good spot too.
Thanks Phil. Plumpton is not bad for speed shots and panning. Couple of over bridges nearby too. Downside for northbound steam is that the drivers tend to shut off the steam effects along here.
A nice winter warmer Leslie, looks like we may be in for some snow.
Thanks Andy. Well we got a dusting up here with frost down to -5 or thereabouts. Brass monkeys were seen about the place lol
always enjoy your videos from Carlisle and thanks for added all the information on workings too. Hope to have a trip to carlisle when the daylight gets a bit longer
Thanks! It's always better on longer days
Plenty malty movements today. Stay safe.
Thanks Mike
Bom dia leslie ótimo video afoto vario trrein lindo excelente video
Thanks!
Grand Les, if you drive into the Pot Place car park at Plumpton you will get some good high speed shots there.
Thanks - and a nice cuppa!
I am curious as to how the crews are rostered for the regular freights but especially the unusual workings like the snow jobs.
Ive no idea about regular rostering - but it seems to involve a lot of moving between depots and yards after signing on. The snow jobs are done I think on spot hires so no doubt the crews at West Coast etc are on call-out.

Thanks Syd! Apparently it took a little persuasion from the drivers to get the DRS CEO to realise it was wrong to sell off their 37s!

Thanks Andrew. Indeed they were - and they didn't spring back either so old tricks by the driver!

@@johncherrington6080 I've seen it done often. Of course they have to set the route in the opposite direction!
@@LeslieGilpinRailways thanks Les, maybe you can get away with it on manual points whereas a run through on power operated points would certainly do some damage.
Is Ravenstruther nowadays a virtual Quarry? It used to be a coal loading point.
I believe so, not sure where the actual granite quarry is but it reopened for rail borne traffic last year.
Ravenstruther was closed as a coal loading point many years ago. Cloburn Quarry near Biggar have bought it as a loading point to transport their stone ballast contract with Network Rail.
Thanks to both respondents, I knew it closed along with the Ayrshire open cast sites but didn't know about the stone loading. Makes perfect sense though.
Excellent video Leslie
Thanks
Nice vid
Thanks!
Hi again,
Do you know why there's a need for 2 x 5,000 hp class 90s on freight trains? Surely if 1 class 66 can do it, so can 1 class 90?
Thanks
Absolutely no idea! The adhesion of 8 axles against 6 may be a reason - and DB like Freightliner have 90s available. I wonder if DB will strt using their 92 on these workings
Awesome video. One question tho when r the 37s and 47 is the high Wapping sidings leaving cause if they leave on Saturday I will come up
Thanks! The 37s are up in Scotland now. Just two 47s remaining at Carlisle, one 47 at the back of High Wapping and the other alongside the DRS Thunderbird in the Holding Sidings
Hi, another great video. Please pardon my ignorance, but what is Carlisle NY?
