Copy of South African Industrial Steam 1990 Vryheid Colliery & Coke works
A few scenes recorded in 1990 at Vryheid 'Coronation Colliery' in South Africa. Most of the internal traffic at the time was worked by their North British built 4-8-2 and 4-8-4T locos, two of which are seen going about their business here. There's also a fleeting glimpse of a Bo-Bo Diesel which worked the 'main line' to the exchange sidings (and the GEA class Garratt - not in steam- on shed which deputised for the latter when it wasn't available). Most of the Colliery was a well manicured campus like place from memory, shame it's now closed. We were also lucky in being able to visit the associated Coke works as well ...a place which we'd been told we'd never get admission to.

Colas Class 56s at Kidsgrove
zhlédnutí 410Před 7 lety
Recorded in 2016 at about 6.20am in Bathpool Park, Kidsgrove (Staffs) as a pair of Colas owned class 56 locos head up the 1:80 with the once a week Grangemouth - Sinfin aviation fuel tanks. Sadly this working passed to another operator and is no longer routed this way.

The steam locomotives of Wankie Colliery 1990
zhlédnutí 3,9KPřed 10 lety
Recorded in 1990 at what was Zimbabwe's 'premier' industrial steam location, 'Wankie Colliery'. The Pit was served by a steep branch line from the national railway system at Thomson Junction which was worked by the colliery's own locomotives... all of which at this time were 4-8-2 tender engines very similar to SAR's class 19D.

Sardinian snippets recorded in August 2013 on the narrow gauge lines in the north of the island. There are various scenes of Fiat and Breda built Diesel Mechanical railcars on the lines radiating from the island's second city of Sassari, some too on the long cross island line to Palau which runs but once a week in the summer season. The other line included is that from Bosa Marina to Macomer wh...
'Pacifics' in the Gold mines

Uploaded because of a request to see more of the ex South African Railways Class 16CR 'Pacifics' featured here recently. This compilation from the Welkom area begins with a few scenes at Loraine Gold mine where an elderly but immaculate ex SAR 10CR is seen at work. After that we move back to the Saint Helena mine seen previously where virtually their whole fleet of ex SAR 16CRs can be seen at s...

Even in edited form, this video's long and painful to watch! Recorded in 1990 we see former South African Railways 16CR 'Pacific' No 817, now Saint Helena Goldmine No. 5 wearing it's driving wheel tyres away. The ex main line loco is attempting to move a rake of loaded bogie coal wagons off the coaling stage, an epic struggle which took it about 25 minutes to accomplish. At no time was any assi...
Port Elizabeth Sunday steam
zhlédnutí 7KPřed 11 lety
Recorded in early 1986 in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. There was still plenty of steam about, though mostly then confined to freight working and shunts. Here one Sunday morning we have a quick look around the shed whilst huge numbers of locos slumber, then move on to the city's station where various class 15AR 4-8-2 locos go about their business as station pilots and dock shunters.
Jalainur, China. (steam opencast) Part 1
zhlédnutí 2,6KPřed 11 lety
One of steam's last great spectacles was that at Jalainur open cast mine in the North East of China. SY class 2-8-2 tender engines grappled with steep grades, reversals and heavy loads of spoil or coal out of the huge pit. Here one freezing cold morning in the last year of operation before dump trucks took over in 2010 are a few shots taken shorty after the morning shift kicked in.
South African Steam. A day on the George - Knysna. 1986
zhlédnutí 9KPřed 11 lety
Recorded during a 1986 steam enthusiast's tour, not special trains but ordinary branch line workings of the day. The SAR line from George along the Indian Ocean coast though hills and past lagoons to Knysna was undoubtedly one of the county's most scenic. At the time of our visit all traffic was in the hands of the lightly built but modern class 24 2-8-4 with the Vanderbilt 'torpedo' tenders. A...
Trains in New York State 1998.
zhlédnutí 7KPřed 11 lety
A few minutes of video salvaged from a brief trip to New York State in 1998 after suffering a camera malfunction (to say the least!). I suppose the most interesting items of motive power seen were the soon to be retired ex New Haven EMD FL9s... and I think a re-vamped Turbo-train all making their way along the banks of the Hudson river.

What better way to start a video about green era Maltese Ex London Transport AEC Swifts than with a blue one! As the weather outside is currently anything but Maltese with inches of snow, the opportunity arose to edit up this 10 minute Swift-fest to remind of better times. The video was recorded in April of 1994 (part of about an hour and a half's worth of Maltese transport) and shows the often...

Down in the south eastern corner of Germany, close to the Czech and Polish borders is the town of Zittau. From Zittau runs a 750mm narrow gauge steam worked railway which employs chunky 2-10-2 tank locomotives. The railway loops around the ouside of the town then heads out into the county.

A few scenes showing Irish Rail's wonderfully vocal GM 071 class Co-Co Diesel locos at work after dark. From memory, the first shot from aboard the train was taken somewhere on the Sligo line (possibly Carrick on Shannon) before the service went over to railcar operation. Most of the others came from around the Mallow area when the class were almost exclusively allocated to Tralee services from...

I remembered these buses.
May I use the audio from this for a video where I have these in HO Scale?
JUST LOVE THAT STEAM.

god be with the good auld days
Very nice and impressive 😅😊
I love steam trains
超大空転！！まともに走れない状態はヤバ過ぎ❗
Not a strap to bee seen proper
I traveled to Malta in July, 1994, love the country, very beautiful, and I like the local buses too!
At 2:13 et al - The loco's headlight seems it's an end of the tunnel? So go for it! I thought "Shared ..." meant the tunnel w a single track thru it is shared w another train, nut(not) w pedestrians! So, if u c a light inside, go for it!
Terrific video all around. Though, the scene at 2:25 is absolutely remarkable
enjoyed!!!
It is truly a shame that no condensing engine hs been mantained in working order, at least one would deserve a good restoration for how rare they are
the entire load exceeds the capability of the loco just like with any loco you have only so much power at your disposal the loco isnt in very good condition either but it did get the job done like on many south african mines
Wonderful clip
Sounds like a diesel 🤣

Prototype for the Routemaster 2? Front entrance / rear exit / full length passenger saloon...
love this, always been in awe of these condenser loco's, sounds like a jet plane when running at speed. Its a shame that they converted most of them to a conventional locomotive.
Stupid driver. Spinning won’t improve traction. If anything spinning will further decrease coefficient of friction and result in more slippage
6:26
A 4-6-2 "pacific" is not suitable for that kind of job. It is best suited only for passenger train. Only mixed freight 4-8-2 "mountain" locomotive is designed for that kind of work.(2023.07.03-21:08-socalled South Africa)
Its such a delight watching these rickety old antique clapped out *Arab* lorries doing the rounds driven by their Capable *Arab* drivers!
Importing Lorries so these mad *Arab* islanders can go crashed them up? Oh please! When watching the whole video of the various trucks driven. Its funny hearing all the *Arab* voices and *Arab* shouting and swearing! I am doing a project on *Arab* dialects and expletives and I find this video about *Arab* truck drivers fascinating!
SAR&H, the iron artery of South Africa's industrial development following WW2. Who can ever forget those great, proud steam locomotives?
Christmas times were the best...the train would come by .. fully loaded with White tourists who would throw candy at us as we herd cattle near the railway track ....some times any evil one would throw a tin full of poo ....i believe they have all been judged accordingly
Now Houses have been built right on top of the tracks .. ...,,🤞
Wow, what an existence .
Cluch in that guy fucked
Nowt wrong with 680😂😂😂
Many nights I shunted the Beet trains in and out of there.
try walking or motorcycling thru RR tunnels in the u.s. and u might find yourself under arrest or fined.
You could see by eye that there was a slight grade at the starting point. Haven't they ever heard of " doubling the hill"?
That can't be good for the switch points and crossing frogs.
Sure wish they would reopen this line, I am sure it benefitted all aling the route.
Great to see the junction again, thanks for that.
I think I can. I think I can. I think I can. Well I would if you’d try sand, a helper, or let me take half now, and half later!
It seems to me that an 8 wheeler pulls better than a 6 wheeler

Muchos comentan que esto daña las ruedas ... pero en realidad daña los rieles. El daño a las ruedas se produce cuando la rueda se bloquea pero el tren se sigue moviendo ( se genera una "rueda planchada" ) . En este caso hay una enorme perdida de tiempo (por no mantener los areneros funcionando) y posibles daños a los rieles. Siendo que de todas formas los rieles están en estado calamitoso no parece que esto preocupe a los operadores.
Nice to see 130 on the 3 car Mark 3 push pull set that often formed the Limerick Shuttle.
Nice to see the Limerick to Rosslare train use Platform 4, as part of the famous 5 point turn. Sadly now history. Loved the steam heat Cravens. Plus the Cement Bubbles (wagons).
Damn Maar die lokomotief kan hardloop So mooi Enige motor sal sy wiele moet optel om by te bly Baie mooi
