- Dont miss the action at Hellifield Station . A very gruby class 56 being loaded with wood, three cranes working, Also Class 60 056 Stone from Ribblehead V/Q, 66742 Direct rail Engineers loco, later some interesting shunting out of the yard onto the siding, most interesting is how they manually lock the points .
Great video Steve. Interesing to see the logs being loaded, not the easiest thing to load!
Top bit of filming, thanks 👍

Fantastic video, thanks for uploading. Will have to visit Hellifield at some point because it looks like a great location
thanks very much, day to day freight varies so allways good to check what is running, cheers .
The clips of the logs being loaded are amazing and the class 60 with the quarry train is a nice bonus!
Thanks very much, yes i thought it was quite interesting watching the logs being loaded, nice to see a few 60s about too, cheers .🙂
Good footage and never seen the logs being loaded at Hellifield before.👍👍
Thanks David, interesting to watch the loading of the logs, Cheers Steve . 👍

Looked like the Handsig was clipping the points, still Absolute Block there by the look of it. Nice vid, cheers.
Thanks Paul .
Haven't visited for years, does the station still have a cafe?

A fascinating video. Great to see more freight traffic being generated on the line in that area. Is this now a regular working. Also have you any idea where the logs are coming from. Grew Uat Giggleswick pIand know the area welbut now live a long way away.

All change as they say Jamie, the logs used to go from Ribblehead which were localy sorced, then they moved to hellifield because they started taking stone from R/H instead wich comes from Horton quarry untill they put a siding into the quarry there, seen a few waggons with logs which are fairly local but not sure which sites, cheers Stephen .
Thanks Stephen, There are some forests that will be ready for cutting east of Ribblehead I can't remember the name of it. I think that the stone at Ribblehead comes from the Ingleton Quarry. They are due toput a siding back n at Horton next year I think.
they were bringing logs out on the Cam fell road/Birkett moor, think some are being felled at Gisburn forrest, the stone wasfrom ingleton but now mainly limestone, cheers@@Jamie92208
A cut above the usual freight videos
A cut above 🤣, like it , cheers for the comment .👍
Great to see freight on railway, if the government (whoever) is serious about climate change, this is the way to go!!!
Totally agree, but probably get more money from the trucks, thinks will have to change if we are serious .
When I was a kid my big brother drove a goods train, not a freight, why do we have to copy the yanks.
thanks Keith, good point i allways said goods, but You tubers seem to use Freight so i use it as a standard too 🤔
THAT 56 SOUNDED A BIT ROUGH.
Well indeed, but a bit of age and a good clean wood make it look a lot better .
So where are the logs taken too
Chirk for processing into Plywood i think, sure some on will say if incorrect 👍
Yes, to Chirk, Wrexham for the Kronospan works to produce chipboard.
Why do they slam the brakes on???
Very good question, no idea to be honest. 🤔
They're not slamming the brakes on. There are 2 timing settings for wagons, pass and goods. Pass means the brakes apply quicker than on goods so the braking equipment reacts quicker. Also could be the brake blocks are not adjusted properly meaning some blocks hang closer to the wheel sets, in turn the block applies to the wheel quicker than others do
thanks for the information 👍@@Dangerous-Brian150
@@Dangerous-Brian150 so on pass does that mean like an emergency setting? Like in a car when you apply full force like if you were about to have an accident? Like emergency stop?
@cidertom5140 no mate it means that when the driver applies the brakes, if they are in pass the brake equipment reacts quicker at applying the blocks to the wheels. Some wagon types will only have one setting, normally goods setting which is more gradual at applying the brake. Don't forget he's got a good bit of weight on those wagons too so he will have to put a bit more brake in! Next time you see any wagons, look for a lever with G and P and that's your goods/pass changeover lever.
A lonely engine😢
Indeed, and gruby too,needs a bit of TLC, cheers elizabethj 🙂
