Belmond Luxury Train Pickup
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
On a rather overcast spring morning diesel Locomotives 47643 & 37703 (masquerading as 37067) were preparing to depart from the Bo'ness signal box when my morning was made much brighter when invited to join the 47643 locomotive crew on a cab ride trip up line to Manuel Junction near ,Whitecross, Falkirk, to bring back Luxury train the Belmond Royal Scotsman which had arrived late the previous evening .I would also like to thank the Bo'ness Diesel group crew Lindsay,Ross and Lewis for both of my cab rides on locos 47643 uphill & 37703 down hill and giving me the opportunity to film the journey from Bo'ness to Manuel and back.

I worked on the class 47s Brush Sulzer when they first came out in the 60,s.Yes the are a great Loco to drive. But, But, But this Driver does not know what to do for the best to look Coooooool. Notch up>Notch down>Window up>Window down>Gloves on>Gloves off. Great video though.
That was a cool video! I must get a Class 37 locomotive and the Mk II coaches/carriages.

The British may have given Railways to the world, but then doggedly stopped doing anything more, including new or better ways of doing things. Certainly styling and good looks got left far behind. The UK has what must be the ugliest locomotives in the world.
Nice vid!
Great video. Do any of the train lines use the knuckle couplers in the UK ( like the U.S.) or do they all use the bumber and chain hook up? Thanks. Art
If they ever derail along there those houses could get flattened by cars rolling down the embankment.

Capt Gary Oh wow! I thought the very same thing! All I could think of was that runaway Southern Pacific that left the tracks in San Bernardino, CA. I said to myself "I'd never live in any houses that close to railroad tracks" and I'm a railroad fanatic too.

The houses close to track are very common in the UK.

With the Token in the satchel for the single line too.
Was the train ECS or were their passengers on it ?
Why is there no audible DSD alarm on the 47?
Why was the engine alone so slow. Why two engines? Why so slow as a train (Engine and cars)? Great video, very impressive! Thank you!

Private line speed restricted, it was collecting the other engine off the mainline.

What is that gray loop thing one of the guys was handling in the cab and carrying outside? Anybody know?

Its the single line token. Used here to operate the groundframe. By having that they have authority to enter that section and no other train can until the staff is returned to the signal box.
Excellent video. But, wow that rattle/buzz in the 47 is irritating.
