A video of a variety of trains at Carlisle Citadel station. Taken on a windy and wet ( at times ) day, while I waited to see steam loco, 45596 Bahamas, arrive and depart again , two and a half hours later. 22nd February 2020
A hundred years ago one could stand here and see trains in the liveries of eight rail companies. There would be even more variety of the Waverley Route were reopened. Here's to that!
6:58 I like how the 7 sign is swinging in the wind! 8:00 nice catch of a Caledonian Sleeper class 92 running light 9:15 wow! a Steam excursion in February! Something we don't get in America. The loco almost looks gray in your camera! 11:47 nice to see the class 397s have entered service 12:24 that EWS class 66 is nice and clean!
9:15 Yes, in Germany we don't get to see that very often too... But we have something called "Plandampf", wich is basically usual work, so like suburban, goods, or some times even express passenger work, but it's worked by steam locomotives. That's cool!
I guess im asking the wrong place but does someone know a way to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Deacon Felix i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
excellent shots great variety👍 I live in Kent where we very rarely get Steam trains no container freight not many freight through Ashford bit better at gravesend and tonbridge 😟
Greetings from across the pond! I really enjoyed seeing the different train sets (including freight and steam (!!) no less), the "entanglement" of tracks leading to three different rail lines (I guess), working signals, all in a setting of a hectic "normal day at the office". Your cinematography was much better than most, including using your zoom effectively and smoothly, and the overhead shots which added interest to what we were watching. Any possibility of increasing future video resolutions to 1080p or 4K? Good job! Cheers!
Thanks Mike. Glad you enjoyed it. Yes 3 separate lines out of the south of the station. Thanks for the compliments. I do love to make full use of the zoom , although hard to keep the camera steady at times, hand held, I find a tripod restricts my movement. Not done the overhead shot before, but it looked different. My camera can shoot in 4K and I have tried it, but had trouble, and time consuming, down loading and editing. Must try it again though.
I was a lucky man i was a fireman at kingmoor and have found memories of carlisle station the first frieght liner in the uk was called the condor ran from glasgow to hendon london at first it was hualed by 2 black fives the later a sulzer deziel the only train i did not fire on was the royal train
156490 rings a bell wasn't this involved in a accident with 156468 on the S&C line when one of them hit a land slide n then the other ran into the derailed front end. If memory serves me right both front ends of the trains were wrote off and the rear of 468 became a replacement for 490
Well, it was designed to haul heavy freight trains at 90 mph across the Channel tunnel, so i'm pretty sure this thing can get to it's top speed really fast
