Video

Now about 10 of them are working in Australia for Qube Rail.

ThE DBRs sound like chainsaws

Great footage 👍

Great videos

Nice videos, looks like a nice spot

Great videos

Great videos, certainly a very wet day that one

Top video - 156 was THE machine back in 92-94! I remember the tunnel at Haymarket being like a disco with the flames and sparks coming out of her one night on the legendary 2P47 for Perth.. I must look out my old audio tapes as the thrash back then was unlike anything we’ll see again 😢

Absolutely brilliant I grew up watching the sprinters from my grans window from the balgrayhill tower blocks i remember it was closed with a few sidings then seen it getting reopened also seen freights and few shunting manoveres going to st Rollox that’s what got me being a rail enthusiast

Motor GM 645?

Thats ka949 😮

I spent many an hour here as a kid in the late 1980s early 1990s with my dad I was about 14 in 1986 best days ever all the class 20s/31s/37s/45s/47s/56s the odd class 58 I loved this place! all the 20s chirping away to each other it sounded like they was talking to each other lol 😅 good video 🥰

a distinct lack of tones ot is it just me ?? great video though

7:20 - ex Queensland Railways SX carriages previously used on the suburban system of Brisbane. Also used on Perth’s system for extra services in the late 80s, but later returned to Queensland somewhere in the early 90s. Also love hearing the locomotives’ engine while doing push-pull operation and the control / cab car leading the service back to Auckland. Like at 6:50 Plus ex WAGR railcars at 8:10, they were previously used on the Perth suburban rail system prior to electrification in the 90s And good video btw

Great locomotives. Considering they were powered by a de-rated version of the class 37’s engine and many of those 37’s are still running now, there must have been a large number of very usable power plants made useless when the 31’s were scrapped.

Great footage here ive subbed very helpful for my model railway building ideas😊

Remember the 73s on medway valley line.they still do go on that line but mainly 66s on the freight trains now

Schöne Erinnerungen an eine längst untergegangen Eisenbahnweilt...😢😢😢😢 Daumen hoch 👍🏻 für das zeigen!

This was my old depot when I was a fireman with BR 1974 my uncle was a mainline driver we spent many shifts together I drove all these engines class37s queen st to Oban day shift and night shift on the ghost train and push &pulls class 27 queen st to Waverley Edinburgh triple header 37s from barassie Ayrshire with massive coal trains a life time ago

is the class 33 still used today?

Awesome Video...

Brilliant video with good traction motor noise.

A nice look back in time. I remember the 73s on coal traffic to Colmec at Tolworth and Charringtons at Chessington, also belting through Surbiton on various duties inc passenger, mail, parcels, newspaper trains and the occasional ballast or engineering train. Clapham Jct was a busy place for them, the Gat-ex services, and as well as the other passenger and mail/parcel traffic, empty coaching stock moves between Waterloo and the yard at Clapham Jct. Thanks, brought back many memories.

Great video! These things will have been pushing 40 years old when this was filmed, and some of them look very work worn, but still plying the routes and getting the job done. I know the 31s get a bit of stick for one reason or another (underpowered seems to be the common one) but NR were still using them on test trains up until fairly recently, some 60 odd years after they were built, and that certainly says something.

Great video

Love this video. Good old BR BLUE DAYS

Great video

Notice the old DMU chugging along among all the electric trains. I wonder if this was going to Paisley Canal.

Great sounds as they throttle away from the stops. In the USA you wouldn’t hear that for damned blaring horns.

What year was this?

Something else

Paekok! Good evening. Yo~splendid sharing,farewell!:))

Why is that Northern Explorer going down the wrong line

So much activity thanks.

Such eclectic times, full of colour and variety, and some truly fascinating movements. Crewe was buzzing back then. In October 1990 the final class 90 of the build had just entered service so 90049 would have been just weeks old in this clip, and only yards away from where she was built too! Even in the 1990s the UK still has some manufacturing and engineering kudos. Not so much anymore sadly.

This video is 99% East Germany.... ....and 1% Coca Cola

Excellent

Trains seemed to go a lot faster then, than they do today. That sole loco was motoring through Paekok station!

What a great video, how things have changed !!. Nowadays what freight that passes would be in a 66 hands, dirty American upstarts , no clag ,no class !!. And a chance to see "Oystermouth " running through too, I'm lead to believe that it was a regular in this part of Wales but I'm from Kent and in my days 'gricing' in the 80s 56's were rare and seeing 040 even rarer. Fabulous. Thank you .-bud the painter-

What a place to 'Spot' back in the day

What a fantastic video. Just realised this was 40 years ago! Time flies when you have fun.

Was it ok to shove head out the window back then? By time i was old enough to take trains it was mostly DMUs and odd time it wasn’t you got fined for that.

top stuff

Great footage. I used to cycle up there a few times in my younger days from the east end of Glasgow. Eastfield in on the north side of Glasgow.

Top video Sir, i loved the BRUSH TYPE 4'S AND THE GRIDS. The British Steel CORPORATION wagons and the Travelling Post office coaches were PURE class, thank you. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍

BRITISH RAIL AT IT'S BEST, GOD SAVE NETWORK SOUTH EAST, THE GOLDEN YEARS. SUPERB. 1 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The south end of Crewe station was such an exciting location back then.
