Greetings from Canada. I'm a retired railroader near Toronto & enjoy your videos. Also, the rust on the rail reminds me of running trains on branchlines are are long gone. On some lines we wouldn't take a train on them for weeks and the rust on the rail not only affected crossing signals (rust insulating track circuit) but also caused a lot of wheel slip if it was a dewy morning or started to rain. Anyway, I watch your videos and I find them relaxing as another post has suggested. Thanks for doing them.
One of the things that makes the lake district so special is the weather, one of the wettest places in the UK (200+ rainy days per year) and that will definitely add to the rust, and of course adds to the magic of the place too. I am glad you find the videos relaxing, I think in the world we currently live in this isn't a bad thing
I looked at my battery on the GoPro app when we pulled in to the station and I had 6% left, the GoPro can corrupt an entire file if the battery goes flat, the turntable was a risky gamble, but I have never seen it done before so risked it
Well, I've been proved wrong as I thought there were only four intermediate stations between Ravenglass and Eskdale. There are actually six! (in the words of Maxwell Smart, "missed it by thaa-aa-aat much!") Here they are in order from Eskdale back to Ravenglass. 00:00 Eskdale Terminus 04:14 Beckfoot 09:15 Fisherground 13:54 The Green 17:09 Irton Road 23:52 Murthwaite Halt 31:39 Muncaster Mill 36:32 Arrive at Ravenglass Terminus then decouple from train, loco onto turntable for return run.
You are a legend, would you mind if I put these times in the description at the top? I have been meaning to have a look at this myself this week but the day job has been manic
