- 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' on the Scarborough Spa Express running along side Black 5 44932 returning light engine to Carnforth. Both left York within minutes of each other with 70013 quickly catching up to the Black 5. The engines then both ran side by side to Church Fenton.
Hi to Derek who I met on the train !
My favorite part of this video is when the camera passes the Black 5 and you see the engineer pull back into the cab like "Oh, it's on now."
"We can't be having that now, can't we?"
Holy shit he really does eh lol
0:48?
But cromwell was pulling more whille the black 5 pulled 2
you can even see the fireman smiling. he knows what's up.
As a former 60's BR fireman equally at home on a 5 or a Brit I can honestly say that I never thought I would see the like again in my lifetime. It could almost have been a 'contrived re-enactment' of a once common sight on our railway's & certainly brought a big lump to my throat, I think there are a lot of ex BR men out there who will feel the same..... Many thanks.
Did enginemen ever race each other like this?
@@connormclernon26 of course but obviously only possible in certain situations & if safe to do so. A bit of fun that no longer exists.
@@SYKAROST sounds like a lot of fun...
No sore throat was also a place 😭
@@SYKAROST I'm sure someone paid for a pint depending on the wager
"They're pulling away! they're pulling away!" henry puffed. His driver laughed. "Don't worry," he said, "they won't get away from us!" then, slowly but surely, henry pulled alongside the other engine. "We'll show them! We'll show them!"
i love u for saying that
Love it how the driver of the Black 5 beckoned- "get outa here" as his engine pulled ahead!!
Absolutely superb footage.
Absolutely glorious, I love how many steam locomotives the UK has preserved and how often they run on the mainline.
Ahh that never gets old, seeing a Stanier 5 just hammering along.
that is how all railways should be
Watch this time and time again. Just wish I had been on Church Fenton Station when they both came through. A scene not likely to be repeated very often if at all again.
Just quite the best bit of head to head steam stuff i've seen yet!! This has just got to be a such a rare thing you've captured here. Well done, 5***** :-) Awesome.
HI HENRY
This is one of the best railway videos on UA-cam.
Even now, 50 years after steam locomotives stopped pulling passenger trains, they still have the power to make people gaze in awe and wonder.
On the Black 5 is my Father who sadly passed away 4 years ago. This is my favourite video & I watch it at least once a week to see his face. Thank you for this once in a lifetime video, it’s just fantastic ♥️🦁
I still watch this...one of my favourites of all time.Thanks
It’s almost like a race between the train you are in hauled by Oliver Cromwell and this loco seen next to you 44932 with two support coaches behind it
Seems like _gordon is jealous now._
Oh the indignity!
Love watching this over and over again with my son. Our favourite bit is when the engine driver on Black 5 sees their being overtaken and opens up!
Brilliant, takes me back to the 50's when I often remember seeing high speed racing on multiple tracks.
Had this saved in my watch later for years. Think it has to be my favourite ever steam video. Just fantastic 👏
Fantastic video as what were the chances of that happening ?
THIS IS WHAT I CALL SPEED!!!!!!
* cough cough* *real Henry* * cough cough*
Looks like they were both doing about 75 mph at the end 🙂
I love watching these powerful beasts running free doing what they are supposed to do.I don't care what anyone says,to me they are living breathing beings with a soul.Bless every last one of them.
I like watching these videos not just for seeing the engines but also seeing the joy and camaraderie of the people in the carriages having the time of their lives.It's more than just a train ride,it's an emotional experience which is what steam is all about.
He looks like Henry the Green Engine
he is
That's a fantastic piece of footage awesome the speed of both drivers ....we got a race on here ..right lets give it too them ....cheers
Ted Barnes it shows that steam engines are still viable in this world with Diesels and electric engines
wow thats the best train clip if seen yet, and so rare that for steam engines running parallel on the mainline, its great when the black 5 draw at the same speed and you get an excellent shot of the engine. This is probably the first time since steam days this has happened
EPIC :D
And they say that steam is dead. Pfft!
That was seriously awesome! It must've been quite a sight to be waiting at that station and have both of them pass by before splitting off!

Superb, this is what steam at speed is all about.
Oh to have been on that platform as these two magnificent locos raced by.
This is brilliant! Everytime I watch this video, I always am surprised and amazed! Brilliant video! Liked and subbed :)
Made me smile like a little child watching this video clip!! Thank you for posting!!!
Thank you for sharing this with us! WOW - what a moment to have witnessed! My new favourite video; I absolutely love it!
*Henry theme starts playing*
Brilliant video, I bet the folk on the station near the end could not believe their eyes!!
Cheers Dave.
Wow...nice capture
Can I use this video in my train compilation video credit to you in video will be given
Many thanks. What great footage. They were belting along!
Just imagining the Gangys at Church Fenton..Sh4t..which do i photo first ..Too late..!
I can see, and see this exceptionally shot video over and over again. In fact even after watching it the number of times the steel wheels spin, there will still be a lot of excitement and involvement in being a part of this pure joy. My salutations to the experts moving these beauties so gracefully. Thanks for the video 🙏🏼
Where else in the world would you see such a sight? And what a thrill for those standing on the station. Locomotives at speed on both sides!
In Germany they drive parallel to each other quite often. Just search "dampflok parallelfahrt" in UA-cam, it's awesome!
In Britain, dont know why, it seems to be very impressie.
In Germany?
Nahhhh.
To see something like this in this day and age on the East Coast Main Line is nothing short of amazing! Absolutely superb! Bet it doesn't happen again for a long time!
I Bet they let the black 5 go over the max permited speed of 60mph right up to 75mph the same as 70013, If only they tried for 80mph or 90mph.
I don't know how many times I have watched this video. it is the best on You Tube. I get goosebumps every time I watch it.....well done. real opportunist.
some people have all the luck!
I never thought id see the day. What an experience. I love the bit at about 1 minute in where it appear the driver of the black 5 'puts his foot down'
0:52 Love that, going under the bridge you can hear the Black 5 open up, driver deciding it to give a go.
Is that henry
Hey Henry
This is a fabulous racetrack for steam, beautifully shown by these two machines that found fame in 1968. I was very lucky in August 1975, my footplate ride to the Shildon celebrations on 43106 was Chesterfield to York. After we crawled through Killamarsh and Rotheram, our private train with 8F 48773 and 43106 opened out, I reckoned that for 2 scrap ex BR jobs, which were largely in ex BR condition. I reckoned we were going at 57 through Church Fenton, Steam Ban barely lifted!
WOW! This is an excellent video! Who on earth were the 4 who disliked it???
I grew up with steam trains. They were dirty, smelly, noisy, and slow. If Col. Sanders rode for 1 mile on a steam train, when he got off, he would look like Batman.
Now. That is awesome!!

What would you guys prefer on your railway? Black 5 , N15 , Hall , B17.
Im a LMS guy of course but maybe you have different opinions.
Them people are really lucky to experience to see a another steam locomotive running alongside
Brilliant ---we are all green with envy
The engine that the were racing was really a experimental engine by sir Nigel Gresley. Intel his blueprints for the locomotive got stolen by someone I don't know the name of tried to build the engine himself and did not realise it was an experimental engine and did really bad on it and went to jail when they found him from the locomotive ang Nigel remade the locomotive and made it better.
0:48 engineer says ''Shit just got real"
Excellent catch of the day but the black 5 is NOT light engine - it has two carriages attached which makes it a train, but what the hell.
my brother lives in Chruch fenton and says he hears many steam trains passing through in the late night when i was there in July one passed through
Now imagine seeing a Streak an A3 doing that or a LNER B12 and D16 doing that.
lol, imagine what the daily commuters in that class 185 were thinking when they saw not only 1 but 2 steam engines XD
Rottweiler Ron putting the regulator wide open .....and we are off
Black 5 driver said “POWERRR!”
I bet the people on the station were saying " which one do I shoot?". Brilliant.
Obviously not made from Chinese steel!
imagine paying all that money to go on a steam train journey only to spend all of it hanging out the window gorping at another train... 😉
Would be good to see footage from the Black 5’s support crews
hahahaha love it cromwell over takes black 5. then black 5 driver says is that all u got lol then cromwell storms off then black 5 comes back. wat a race awesome catch
This is the main reason why I wanna go to the United Kingdom, to see the steam engines :(
2 more lumps of coal and ollie would have won this race
Ron the driver.....screw you ....I'll show you ....
The engineer went full on "OH NO YOU DON'T"
🙏🙏Absolutely marvellous!!!
Ten miserable buggers wish they'd been there to see it?
This train looks a lot like Henry from Thomas and Friends.
It is. Henry is a 5 black locomotive
Can ONLY be the best not to be beaten
Brilliant! Cracking video!
I'd have loved to be on that platform at the end! Would have been an amazing sight! Amazing video.
Wow I love this video
How far out of York were you when Cromwell caught up?
Wow can you imagine being on that station when that happened.
Oh WOOW!! That was just amazing. Really brought a smile to my face. Two steam trains racing on the mainline. What a specticle. Just completely awesome! Thanks for posting it. What a shame there wasn't someone filming on the black five and the two shots combined. That would have been brilliant. I bet those people on the station must have thought they had gone through a time vortex or something! Great!
A sight rarely seen since the 1960s
First class film there. thank you
This is an awesome video!!!💖💖👍
And a TPE 185 for good measure
aaand i've got to get a change of trousers.
Last one to Church Fenton buy's the drinks...
I would rename 70013
Very beautiful train
Bro the black 5 going well
This is probably a one in a lifetime oppurtunity
Seeing two steam engines race!
Passing by in opposite directions is rare too, when 70013 was arriving in Carlisle back in 2013 with the 1T57 anniversary train 46115 was passing us in the opposite direction.
Magnificent.....
@mroper01 Boy .... I wish I'd been filming from one of thosebridges that day. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you.
I prefer it in a green livery.
Excellent piece of footage, Beautiful piece of steam history and one smooth running engine too. We run some steam here in the US too, don't know if anyones interested or knows what im talking about here, but they have selected a Union Pacific Big Boy engine for full running restoration, engine # is 4014 I believe. Largest steam engine ever built, (4-8-8-4 articulated) only 25 built, for hauling massive loads up inclines- cost is projected at $3 to $5 million and take around 5 years.
UP is great to have restored Big Boy
