Thank you for documenting this so well, sir. Seeing a modern locomotive in a very traditional setting continues to fascinate me. I'm developing some affection for the 66s, particularly the spool-up from idle of the 12-710 despite being strangled by that huge silencer! Ilkley Moor horns are the icing on the cake.
I love seeing semaphores in action!! Semaphore usage is not used anymore in the USA as a few holdouts were still usage but for the most part the 1950's and 60's ended that era
2nd thoughts a TIMELAPSE cam would have been excellent filming everything As , sorry guys it is a bit patchy on the coverage of all that is going on. You havent given us enough video footage dear friends
Gerald Steam the regular weekly pick-up goods on the Esk Valley line last ran in the mid-1980, IIRC sometime in 1985, by then the only regularvload was domestic coal.
Those class 66s may be everywhere now, and so I suppose relatively unremarkable, but they are incredibly beefy, and have a really distinctive sound. Are they 2-stroke? Are there any other 2-strokes in service on the mainline these days? (I'm not including the Deltics, as they only run special services now)
Phil T as the location is within the North Yorkshire Moors National Park the bridge will have to fit in to its surroundings otherwise permission to replace the bridge would have been much harder get.
No. The adjacent bridge is used to carry the shunt line to the yard and gets very little use. It's therefore in better condition and doesn't need replacing. However, the next bridge in the up direction at Goathland, bridge 26 is due to be replaced next year, I think. Bridge 26 is similar in design to the replaced bridge 27.
Loving these updates...very well put together. If you want to see more Kirow's in action pleas feel free to check out the Stevenage Turnback videos on my channel
I understand, but definitely not. The loading gauge is the key. American tunnels were mostly built more recently that English and European tunnels (except obviously the new ones done with tunnel borers), and thus tend to be larger. From the front most US locomotives have square shoulders, where the 66 is definitely rounded on top. The 66 looks like something you might see on the New York Subway (which has relatively small loading gauge), except it is obviously a bit big for that system.
Smart-arse comments like that aren't welcome on here. Brexit was all about politics, nothing to do with where those items were manufactured. (which was long before Brexit was even thought about!)

Nice shots of the 66 at various stations taking the Volker crane. thanks.

Nicely filmed, nicely edited. A joy to watch. Thank you.

That loco is now in the key workers livery
Lovely video :)
Loco horn sounded "On Ilkley moor bar t'hat".
That's how you know DB sent their most Yorkshire driver to the job 😂
Must have been the same driver in the last video
@@MrGrumpygit488 it was. :)
Useful device that is. I bet they wish they could keep it.
I actually wonder how long it’s been since the last goods train went down that route
Few weeks? When they delivered the kirow cranes and some bridge pieces.
Before that maybe 9 months? When the ballast train went ;)

Any guidelines to CB regarding congruence with remaining preserved fixtures and installations?
Or, Will it still look like a Heritage Railway?

wHAT is happening now please???
Is the BRidge 27 NEW Completed now??
Can we see it in action please??
Will the adjacent bridge parallel to Bridge 27 be replaced at a future date??
No. The adjacent bridge is used to carry the shunt line to the yard and gets very little use. It's therefore in better condition and doesn't need replacing.
However, the next bridge in the up direction at Goathland, bridge 26 is due to be replaced next year, I think. Bridge 26 is similar in design to the replaced bridge 27.
Was the chap who boarded at Grosmont mainline doing route conducting, or something?
Yes. Route conducting onto the NYMR
Shame they didn't use the class 25 or something similar
The class 25 can only work as far as Battersby on the mainline.
@@nymrfootage Think the B1 is mainline certified too
@@mattseymour8637
I'm pretty sure she is, along with Eric Treacy. That would have been awesome if the crane came behind one of them! :D

Class 66s look to me like they belong on an American Railroad, not on a British heritage line.
I understand, but definitely not. The loading gauge is the key.

Well they dont usually work on these lines. ;)
On ilkey moor by tat
Throwing the light on to the track not a good thing just lazy
DB engine and Volker Rail crane. So much for Brexit. 😂
Well they cant repaint the 66 that fast. XD

What happened to the good old British sense of humor? Anyway, the ‘German’ loco is Canadian built, the ‘Dutch’ crane German.... 😎
