I bet you've been waiting for years to be in the right place at the right time to catch this rare event! The stars finally aligned for you today. Also good to see detonators being used. No problem for the 9F, just whisks it away as if it were a mild inconvenience. Great video mate and thankyou for sharing this rare spectacle.
@@WH08-ED It was really anoyring being stuck on the busy train, turns out the detonators for the back of the train were left on so when we got on a train from Newtondale Halt towards Goathland we were warned of gunshots 😂
Andy, this was all luck, I had planned to capture this somewhere else and I changed my mind last minute and moved on to here. Also, the fact there was two 9F's up at Levisham meant the other could be released to come to its aid. Usually their resident diesel would of come to fore but as this was on Whitby duty there was only one possibility and that's why I stayed put just in case the unimaginable could happen, and it did !
the 9F's were mainly designed for Freight, hence the F part in its British Railways Power Classification (and iirc, a 9F was used on the Lickey Incline as a replacement for 'Big Emma', a Midland designed 0-10-0 banker loco, the 9F managed to use 'Big Bertha's head lamp for Night time banking) and I find the 9F's an interesting loco in BR's 'Standard Designs'
@@coreyburton6170 Shame they're not allowed on the mainline due to their flangeless middle driving wheel. No idea why this was a big issue with BR or network rail or whoever made the rule. Great shame.
The other end of the line was an amusing mess whilst this was happening... 60007 got to Goathland, heard the news and did an unscheduled return trip to Grosmont and back up. Despite everyone's obvious confusion it was rather entertaining and I must commend the railway for resolving this as soon as they did.
@richardharrold9736 Different countries have different track loading guages, also it is the availability of the locomotive itself, it can fit through any british railway tunnel and can navigate slopes and corners of british rail, something which locomotives from over countries cannot do. so it's rather impressive furthermore, you have steam engines that are already in steam and in a position to rescue the engine, or you have a diesel that might bot get there in the next 30 minutes, blocking the track
@richardharrold9736 The British have a slightly larger or similar loading guage, but also, british railways have a lack of straight lines. A lot of the railways were twisty because a lot of the tracks and tunnels were laid down and mined in the 1800s when trains were not big. For the British railways, the 9F is pretty good
Fastinating video, hearing the rescue engine arrive and the charges laid as a warning go off was great. As a Canadian I thought it might be of interest to some rail fans. The CPR now known as the CPKC, plan to run a rebuilt steam train from their Calgary yard through the US and onto their recently acquired Kansas City (KC) all the way to Mexico. Might be of interest to some. Finally thanks again for a great video.
Hi Gary, i work as a volunteer at Exporail in St-Constant Québec, for the first time we will have a newly built passenger car that will be attached to the John Molson steam locomotive.No date yet when the car will be ready to operate.
I always enjoy seeing these great videos of steam engines running from stations to stations - a Very big thank you to all who have taken the time to make this great video - keep them coming.
An amazing spectacle, as if it were made to order, including signal detonations. It's great that the rescue locomotive is also steam. One of the best steam train videos I've seen. Big thanks.
This was an amazing sequence. That sort of thing can blow the boiler if the crown sheet is exposed. The crew did a very good job saving that loco with what looked like minimum damage. Plus it's very rare these days that you actually see torpedoes used (the detonators), but it's still a damn effective way to signal "Danger ahead" without a signal. The 2-10-0 they were using as a rescue engine was gorgeous, too. Nobody built 'em like the British.
Agreed. I've noticed British-built engines have very 'clean' boilers, without a lot of the external lines you see on the outsides of American or European engines (I think they hide them all between the boiler and the baseplate). It gives even small engines a very sleek look to them.
NYMR forum folk often talk about 'Vera' pulling a load 13 up Goathland bank pretty successfully. A 9F I believe is approximately equal if not more powerful. 7 plus a standard tank? Piece of cake 😂
The 9F did a good job out there saving 80136. Quite odd for it to suffer a failure when its recently returned after winter repairs. I guess repairs arent always perfect but at least you learn something from them
I was on the failed train, but I was also on holiday in the area over the summer and 80136 failed with injector problems then too. So if it _was_ the injectors, and not just a lack of water, maybe it's a recurring fault.
I went today and this 9F was failed sat at grosmont been trying to see it for 3 years and every time I go it’s failed or once it was being shot for Indiana jones 😭😭
That's a good point, The invention of the injector was a marvellous achievement, the reason being that it had no moving parts but could overcome boiler pressure, thus injector failure could possibly be discounted, especially, as you rightly pointed out there are two. Water from the tender supply is one possibility or a Clak valve defect. As there are two of these this could be ruled out. I look forward to the results of the autopsy.
I have witnessed both injectors failing simultaneously on a loco. In our case it was due to sediment, which was drawn up into both injectors. In any event it was a tense moment which ultimately resulted in the fire being dumped.
Yes, I was watching the dets being walked up the line to protect the train. So many used to be let off on 'last train' events and for fogmen to use and I used to have a green one on my window sill...I wonder what became of it?
Brillaint footage. I was on that ill faited train. It was insainly busy, I was in the guards Van at the time. The guard was amazing, the incident was handled very well. I'm going to show the footage to my dad who was with me on the train
Beautiful videography: it's 10 years since I was on NYMR, but in the last month from Oz added another seven plus heaps of main and branch line travel. These Steam Galas rank with Germany as 'best in class'. The GCR one that I attended a year ago was amazing: seven locos in steam. Not possible in many nations in 2023!
Excellent video Liam and Phil. You certainly got some unusual footage. Brilliant coverage which must of taken quite some time. Enjoyable watching. Kind regards C&A
Wow! A double first for me - the first time I've ever seen (heard!) detonators used, and, although not my first steam breakdown, certainly the first where the rescuing/banking engine was another steam engine! 7 minutes of great video.
@mattyrallye Looks like Human error or a mechanical failure that has led to them running dry. Either way, judging be the footage there is no water in the tanks and subsequently the fire is dropped. It is completely possible, there is nothing in place to prevent crew from forgetting anything.
I suspect a severe leak occured in the balancing system between the tanks. This would not be visible from the footplate but would rapidly drain both tanks.
The 9Fs acceleration and power capabilities are even more remarkable considering they only have 2, albeit large, cylinders. Although 10 driving wheels and two guiding wheels do give great adhesion and tractive effort, their ability to hit 90mph in BR days is astonishing, especially with the poorer and quality coal available post war. A real shame they are not given permission to run on the mainline by Network Rail. One given an 'Evening Star' type livery would look stunning racing up and down the East Coast mainline.
92220 Evening Star was used on the Scarborough Spa Express when those trains were introduced. The highlight was the leg from Leeds to Harrogate in the evening. When the train reached Leeds the fire was prepared for the climb past Headingley, we had a very impressive run that night! There was talk of a competition between crews for the best run up the bank.
An entire stricken passenger train of an engine and 7 coaches, and 92134 could almost have been running light engine for the amount of work she's putting in. It's almost like 9Fs are powerful or something.
@@CyarSkirata I wonder who suggested to Mr Shepherd: "We want to borrow your locomotive and thrash it soundly". At least they checked Mr Riddles specs to see if the drawbar was good for 2000 tons. At 'peak-thrash' the fire amounted to over a ton of coal, 1 metre deep & white-hot all the way through. If only R.A. Riddles could have seen THAT.
5:17 Looks Like Two BR Steam Locomotives Class 9F And Standard Class 5 Tank Engine Double Heading Special Train From The North Yorkshire Moors Railway In Yorkshire In England In The UK. Awesome. Thanks Mate. X
I love this. The 9f in a way seems so proud of itself, saying “you call this heavy? I’ve had worse than this!” That torque and acceleration is beautiful.
I was on that train, it was all quite fun! Didn't get any information about the nature of the failure. I wonder if anyone got footage of the shunt in Levisham where they put 80136 onto a siding. Looked like the siding hadn't been used for a while and they were a bit nervous about it!
I grew up on the cusp of the disappearance of steam trains in Edinburgh. I love nostalgia and I love vids like this. Since a cannot see them anymore I have a very modern pc with Trainz 19/22 and TSW2/3/4 to absolutely spoil my fantasy’s 😊
Very interesting to watch these two steam engines working and pulling a heavy load. This is what made America great. These trains delivered food, cars and passengers to and from. Oh how I love this.
Brilliant clip, however at 2:47 it’s actually the guard who informs the driver of what action is to be taken not the other way round. The guard will have made contact with the signal box who will then inform control.They then communicate with the guard the course of action who then passes that information on to driver and tti.
Looks like (from the crew member's hand signal on checking the tank water level) that it was out of water. Seems they threw the fire out as well. It will be interesting to see the report on this.
"The Great Railway Rescue". This wonderful footage will go down in movie history. No one was hurt, nothing damaged (hopefully). All´s well that end´s well.
I do not know what happened but I am quite surprised to see for how long the safety valve was opened and remained so on the disable engine... I would suggest a problem on this side too.
When I was young these beasts were hurtling up and down the UK. In Edinburgh there were shunting yards and coal depots everywhere. I was never out of them. I used to take home paper carrier bags with string handles full of nuggets for my grandmothers coal fire.
Y’know, this could actually be an episode in Thomas and Friends. Like, Arthur boasts about being assigned to express duties, but breaks down. And then Murdoch comes to help him.
If anybody wanted to know most people were told was a failure of the water pump/injector but there was practically no water in the tank I volunteer there so we were all told apparently they had to drop the fire the driver climbed on the water tank and motioned across his neck to the fireman that there was no water left
It was very interesting being on that train. What you dont see in this video is that we were sat for atleast 50mins broken down before the rescue engine arrived. It was still worth it though
I was on the train too. Didn't hear anyone complaining - after all, you don't come to a steam gala to get from A to B, you come for an experience, and we got one!
@cooperised i couldn't agree more with you! I may be wrong, but the majority of people seemed excited at being in the situation. Totally worth it (even if the timetable later was delayed by an hour or so by the end of the day)
It reminds me of the very agreeable agreeable story of the 9F, which was put on the front of a failed Flying Scotsman, and to the consternation of the authorities and delight of passengers and enthusiasts, recovered a lot of lost rime and exceeded 90 MPH. They also ran passenger trains on what was once the S&DJR.
There are two things that make my head turn. Una beautiful woman and a steam locomotive. Hay dos cosas que me hacen volver la cabeza. Una mujer hermosa, y una locomotora de vapor.
Just like a scene from Thomas the Tank Engine........for real!!!! I bet the passengers are glad to see the video afterwards of what was going on beneath their noses.
The way he checks the tank means it was empty the loco has 2 injectors, so unless the loco has a leaking water valve to the injectors some one misjudged the range of the tanks.
Those tanks do at least 1 round trip full. Either they didnt do something right (forgot to refil the tanks). Or something mechanical has failed. Either the tanks are empty which would be unusual or the pump feeding water to the injectors has failed. I bet him saying its out is refering to water in the tank and the pump is fucked based of the steam pouring out the top of the kettle
If I remember correctly the injectors are gravity fed from the tanks. When the water valve is opened the tank will drain via the injector, then on opening the steam valve to the injector the steam should pick up the water and force it into the boiler, Now to loose a tanks worth of water in a short space of time you have ether a leak from the balance pipe between the tanks, or the watter valves feeding the injectors aren't closing.
@@darrenfranklin3569 First sensible theory on here. My money is on a severe leak in the balance between the tanks. A leak not visible from the footplate so no blame on the crew who always take water at Grosmont.
Greetings from the US! This was only the second time I'd seen a steam locomotive suffer a water injector failure in preservation, the first being an incident that happened two years ago to Union Pacific Big Boy 4014, the world's largest operational steam locomotive. While traveling through Louisiana during an excursion, the injector had a massive leak and 4014 was quickly losing water. Normally 4014 is accompanied by a diesel for dynamic braking, but this was one of the rare occasions where the diesel was used for emergency motive power, allowing 4014 to safely coast to the next stop and conserve what little water it had.
Watched the Gala on the NYMR Website, on and off. I think the Standard Tank worked on the Sunday. Also noticed that the other 9F did a trip allocated to 92134, so that must have failed after the rescue.

When I was young these beasts were hurtling up and down the UK. In Edinburgh there were shunting yards and coal depots everywhere. I was never out of them. I used to take home paper carrier bags with string handles full of nuggets for my grandmothers coal fire.
Back when getting coal from Santa was a good thing!!!

My support worker hasn't had to buy any firewood all last winter as Dad & I keep giving it her!
What impressed me was that the of was notched up to practically mid gear...!
Y’know, this could actually be an episode in Thomas and Friends. Like, Arthur boasts about being assigned to express duties, but breaks down. And then Murdoch comes to help him.
I would love to see Murdoch and Arthur together again
Murdoch rescues Belle!
If anybody wanted to know most people were told was a failure of the water pump/injector but there was practically no water in the tank I volunteer there so we were all told apparently they had to drop the fire the driver climbed on the water tank and motioned across his neck to the fireman that there was no water left
An excursion and a rescue too! Well worth the price of a ticket.
It was very interesting being on that train. What you dont see in this video is that we were sat for atleast 50mins broken down before the rescue engine arrived. It was still worth it though
@@TTrainFanaticworse places you could have been stuck I guess. At least there's a view 😂
I was on the train too. Didn't hear anyone complaining - after all, you don't come to a steam gala to get from A to B, you come for an experience, and we got one!
@cooperised i couldn't agree more with you! I may be wrong, but the majority of people seemed excited at being in the situation. Totally worth it (even if the timetable later was delayed by an hour or so by the end of the day)
It reminds me of the very agreeable agreeable story of the 9F, which was put on the front of a failed Flying Scotsman, and to the consternation of the authorities and delight of passengers and enthusiasts, recovered a lot of lost rime and exceeded 90 MPH. They also ran passenger trains on what was once the S&DJR.
9F showing how powerfull it really is , took me back to locos working hard
Beautiful shot, very well filmed, thanks for posting such an amazing event!!!
Progress - nowadays the crew would be rummaging through their assortment of adapter couplings.
Wonderful video!
More likely no rescue loco/train and everybody off to get a bus!
Nicely edited and the perfect loco to rescue a train no stress to a 9 at all
Yep, barely broke a sweat !
Tolles Video mit sehr schönen Loks
Great Vid. The bark of the 9F on lifting the train is awesome.
Man 9f is a beautiful engine, the evening star must get the highlight more
I've been on this line very beautiful landscape great video, thank you 🚂🚂🚃🚋🚞🚋🚃🚋🚞🚃🚃🚃🚃
9F no problem pulls it up grade like nothing my favorite BR locomotive
It appears that the water has run out and the fusible plugs in the boiler has melted. Rescue action carried out according to regulations.
As handsome a rescue-locomotive as you could expect!! The warning torpedo detonators on the rail we’re a great catch! (new subscriber)
Torpedoes! An American!

Extremelly nice video friend,Love it!!!😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘
There are two things that make my head turn. Una beautiful woman and a steam locomotive.
Hay dos cosas que me hacen volver la cabeza. Una mujer hermosa, y una locomotora de vapor.
Not difficult to see how a 9F could take the Pines Express over the S&D singlehandedly .
if this train moves without the 9F, the water tank will probably burst.
The rescue loco was so big and strong, the train arrived 20 minutes ahead of schedule!
Hey it happens, The steam trains work so hard and something will fail or breakdown. Hope all is well in North Yorkshire.
Just like a scene from Thomas the Tank Engine........for real!!!! I bet the passengers are glad to see the video afterwards of what was going on beneath their noses.
Murdoch rescues Belle!
they should paint it in br express blue for the rescue, 92134 deserves it
Why do I think that'll be a nice thing to see lol
What a great spectacle. The rescue engine is a beast!
When you see this comment mr marsh you did a amazing job in this video keep up the good work bud🤟🤟🤟
The way he checks the tank means it was empty the loco has 2 injectors, so unless the loco has a leaking water valve to the injectors some one misjudged the range of the tanks.
Zooming in to see the hand gestures and the chap hanging off the cab steps appears to say “out”…. Oops
That is what I was thinking.
Someone is going to get some stick in the lobby.
Those tanks do at least 1 round trip full. Either they didnt do something right (forgot to refil the tanks). Or something mechanical has failed. Either the tanks are empty which would be unusual or the pump feeding water to the injectors has failed. I bet him saying its out is refering to water in the tank and the pump is fucked based of the steam pouring out the top of the kettle
If I remember correctly the injectors are gravity fed from the tanks.
When the water valve is opened the tank will drain via the injector, then on opening the steam valve to the injector the steam should pick up the water and force it into the boiler,
Now to loose a tanks worth of water in a short space of time you have ether a leak from the balance pipe between the tanks, or the watter valves feeding the injectors aren't closing.
@@darrenfranklin3569 First sensible theory on here. My money is on a severe leak in the balance between the tanks. A leak not visible from the footplate so no blame on the crew who always take water at Grosmont.
Looked to me as if they dropped the fire when there was the blue smoke starting
They did drop the fire at one point, before the 9f rescued us
wonderfull. Watched it again and again!
Fantastic. It's better than watching a daft space x firework launch.
Greetings from the US! This was only the second time I'd seen a steam locomotive suffer a water injector failure in preservation, the first being an incident that happened two years ago to Union Pacific Big Boy 4014, the world's largest operational steam locomotive. While traveling through Louisiana during an excursion, the injector had a massive leak and 4014 was quickly losing water. Normally 4014 is accompanied by a diesel for dynamic braking, but this was one of the rare occasions where the diesel was used for emergency motive power, allowing 4014 to safely coast to the next stop and conserve what little water it had.
Watched the Gala on the NYMR Website, on and off. I think the Standard Tank worked on the Sunday. Also noticed that the other 9F did a trip allocated to 92134, so that must have failed after the rescue.
Both 9s were fine, but the impromtue rescue meant they swapped trains for a while.
It would have been out of position
