Canute Road Crossing - Eastern Docks Gate. 

Good to see that crossing still in use. I was local to the area at one time and saw Clan Line returning from the docks about 15 years ago.

Showing HGVs how bulk haulage is done properly and safely. Superb.

What a change from 50 years before. I worked for BBC South at South Western House in the early 60s. Our tv studio was at the front of the building with rudimentary sound proofing and at some point during the live evening news magazine programme, possibly 6.25pm those in the studio could plainly hear the sound of a large handbell being rung and a diesel shunter pulling some rolling stock over the crossing. Not sure if the viewers ar home could hear this, though.

Wow, had quite a few on for our Railways, but really good to have a mixed Transport system. Reminds me of Bristol years ago, tracks everywhere in town.

Fascinating. The join in the track just beyond the signal looks decidedly ropey! Ooh I see you were filming it there lol

Wow interesting articulated autorack railcars! Not a lot of those in the States...

Went over this crossing a thousand times as lad. Only saw a train on it once.

For a almost closed line, that’s a long train

If you look on Google maps at the satelite image of the town just north of Southampton called Swaythling you can see the same type of train passing through the station. It's massive.

Beautiful siding!

Amazing Video, Thanks!

I can't believe I only just found this, nice one

Sounds windy down there , not seen those car carriers before , used to be open deck ones

Wow. That must be one helluva powerful engine!

I used to work down at SGT at Dock Gate 4, back when this train carried Jags. If I was a bit late leaving work I had to wait ages for this bloody train to cross the dock road!

They should use rail all the time for everything and bring back old lines

6:20 The tracks are rattling...

brilliant I was born and grew up just this spot

And STILL drivers proceed even though the crossing lights are not clear! Unbelievable. I hope they got ticketed!

Nice video - liked! Impressive numbers as well.

Have you ever seen the footage of the trains travelling to dublin port. The track just goes up the road like a tram. Very bizarre looking

Looks like they could do with sorting that track joint out you focused on while the train was passing over it. Perhaps if it got any worse it could cause a derailment?

Something different. Nice.

Nice Video

How many railcars were on that train ? I lost count somewhere or other.

That for a guess is the jaguar transporter if I remember rightly, used to see it when we were tipping on the quay

It would have been nice to see the wall leftofthe gates to have restored with the Canadian Pacific spans the world logo it was a flash back to the great liners era, it would ha ve made a nice piece of nostalgia nostalgia

I did wonder if the gate operator looked where he was going when he crossed the road...

8:21 Still a warning sound and a red light. Who is crossing the railway crossing? MotoBiker and BMW driver. Someone surprised? anyone? btw. nice video.

Interesting video.

That was the longest freight in England I have seen

That was a surprise - Great

Very much like the Preston Docks Railway that also runs across a busy main road

I know this videos was posted 2 years ago but can you remember what time of day did this train with Mini coopers going overseas arrive in southampton when you were filming it crossing the level crossing?

That was the longest freight train ever🇬🇧

Ok, so how do you get the cars in and out of the train? Are there boards (ramps) which fold down at the end of each rake to make one long 'road' along which you can drive the cars out? Are they pulled out? Or do you uncouple the rakes? Seems like a lot of work to manoeuvre them in and out. Wonder if there's a video of that part...?

Wow! How does a train that long get into the shunting bay?

I wonder what that guy does for work the rest of the day !!

Nice seeing the close-ups! Thank you. What turned on the level crossing signals? Interesting seeing the white signalamp illuminate to indicate the level crossing signals were operating. Took long enough for the train to begin moving. Wastes time.

Buddy I have a question how many coaches did that cargo train have?

Never ending train

2:17 Some Pikeys screech to a halt hoping to steal the rails...

Where does this spur join the mainline?

looks like that track needs replacing and more ballast packed underneath. it does look like its bending a fair bit, not to mention the other issue of idiots passing through red lights at level crossings.

There is 5 sections to a complete car. How are they loaded?

Interestingly different. Liked. Mike

Derailment alley with it's nice and neighborhood friendly warning sounds... Well nothing a few drops of super glue and some spray foam can't fix...right?!

The Hoegh Osaka didn't sink. She developed a list, and was intentionally grounded on a sandbank in the Solent.

they used to run this train early in the morning years ago & would go into the docks about 6am I've been late for a couple of times sitting there waiting for bloody thing to lumber its way across the road

How often is this crossing used?

That track looks like it takes quite a bit of pounding.

WOW!

Hi Jeff, different, did not count must have been quite a few..Dave

does anyone know the name of rollingstock used to transport these cars ?

I know one crossing like this but the train there is very slow because driver has many things to do. But its in hungary

Jesus how many carriages was that engine pulling ?

How many carriages does that thing have

Why would people dislike this? Why would people even watch this? Ok, I watched it, but why would . . .

Out through the eastern gate

Personally I think Barriers should be installed here. Or there were people monitoring it.

The Blue Sausage train!

Interessting railcars

vec4 to keep yourself safe

sorry late for work

Call me crazy, but I think I saw that locomotive here in the US.

Giant Gates should come across the road to stop people being take out by a massive Goods train or as in russia Security Gates rising out of the road ,Great video of the Canute Level Crossing 🛑

Fascinating that all this Waggons are not tagged with graffiti. In Germany there is barely no Cargo train without graffiti,

How long, lol.

My that is a lot of wagons.

I Recorded a class 66 freight train in france.

Like how it’s a iMovie

This is my favourite level crossing in the uk thats stilo open

As the sinking of the MSC Napoli highlighted, do NOT wear your survival suit in a fully enclosed lifeboat. :D

You would think they'd automate the gates

Fish fingers for tea tonight I think

Good vid but show us the lights

Wow did anyone count those wagons?

What a strange and irritating alarm. I would be crazy if i live there. How can you even hear this siren in your car, with your engine on and probably the radio? But if i would live there in my house i become really crazy.

plastic water botle near track

A British Rail Class 66

I take it from the lack of graffiti on the wagons that ebola has wiped out the city.

Now that’s what I call a freakin hotel! It’s beautiful 😍! And those gates are funny because they aren’t going to stop a fully loaded freight train 🚂 going at full pelt are they. I guess they’re there to keep people out rather than the trains 🚆 in? It’s extraordinary how stupid and selfish people are that they’re still crossing the tracks when the siren 🚨 is sounding . It’s much more important to save a few seconds risking your life than wait a minute or so while this enormous Engine passes. After all a thing like this isn’t going to make a nice bloody mess out of you when you get crunched and squashed underneath its wheels! What a bunch of impatient idiots

That train driver had a big one !

!!!!!!!!!!!

You need a deadcat for your microphone....

Carrying minis? Train should be nickname The Italian job 2003

You'd think. Just build a fucking bridge.

Don't run The Risk ... 😕

I don't like those coaches. There's no windows, how do people see where they're going?

Car transporters...

5:57 (5:56 - 6:00) Why German? ;)

This looks ever so dangerous. I would have preferred you just pick a spot and film rather than keep moving about, and focusing on the rails. The interest for me is in seeing the whole view including bystanders.

💞Wow🤍💛💛💛🤍💛💛💛

Lol imovie

I hate these types of level crossings

These contain Rockets.... not cars.

Too many cars in London

We have all this health and safety . But then common sense, people don’t have it anymore , just ignorance , I’m to busy get a life some of you people .

Misuse

Waste of time having sound on.
