Finally had a ride on the Hull over head rail way .only waited 60 years ! Thanks 😀

I love the sound of the 66! :)

This is brilliant!I live about 10mins away from the docks, and so interesting seeing my home town this way. The only way I will experience this journey so thank you!

It is fascinating to see the remnants of a once bigger system and to bear in mind that since this video was posted the changes - near cessation of coal traffic; resignalling etc which have taken place. Thank you for posting.

Brilliant video, especially sound, & such an interesting route. Not seen one of your videos before but I'll definitely be watching them in the future & thanks very much.

Superb. Many thanks.

Hi Paul. Many times I have watched trains enter and leave Hull docks and wondered what the view's are like on this goods only line. Well, a big thanks to you for this video and allowing these scenes to be seen. It was my plan to drive trains and, but for an eye injury, I probably would've been making my own.

Another very good video. Many thanks. I appreciate the good picture quality and the fact that you give us a wide angle view. The route is interesting. It annoys me that the main line from Hull westwards is flat and straight with easy curves but has semaphore signalling and low speed limits.

Robin Moss cheers for the compliment. In 2018 when the resignalling is complete with control going to York ROC, the line speed will be increased to 90mph for the majority of it. It is only the signalling that currently restricts the line speed at the moment. 👍

Why does it annoy you ?

I've often been surprised just how many wagons a Class 66 can pull on its own as they go past. I guess it's just the way they are designed I guess...

Like the new video that you done.Thumb's up from me.

Most enjoyable video never seen the freight only track from King George Dock really good

Very interesting -so many closely spaced "stop and wait for instructions" boards at the start!

Hull is fly-ridden for sure.

I drive along the road at 12:30 every single day and never knew there was a line that close.

Great videos enjoy them. Some of them trees could do with a cutting back look very close to the line.

Love the sound of those General Motors EMD 710 diesels, but by god they'd give me a headache if I had to listen to them for 8 hours a day.

Depends on the cab of the locomotive. I can't speak for the Class 66 as I'm a US railroader, but the non-isolated cab SD70M-2/SD70ACe are fairly awful to be in for 8-12 hours. Hearing protection is a must on those engines. On the flip side, the isolated cab versions of those locomotives are really nice to work in, with one of the quietest cabs in the industry.

I’ve run just about all GM models at one point or another. During my thine at BNSF, they had a pretty eclectic roster, with everything from old end cab switchers, to SD70mac. My favorite to run was the SD9.

Hi! Just checking in...is there any chance of new videos in the fairly near future? Thanks, Dana.

The loudest are the 8-710. We have them in the Eco rebuilt geeps. I’d rather switch with the GP9s they replaced, or better yet a good GP38.2.

I see Evil Knievel couldn't wait 🤔

I worked catering on the railways and visited the cab of a few locos. It seems like they are not fitted with toilets, and if drivers are caught short they may just end up crapping in the ces. Obviously with passenger trains, the driver could use the on board facilities, I'm guessing as long as they had time. But if you gotta go, you gotta go!

Any chance you could indicate the lines that you cross, go under and join through the docks line? Love to know what and where the go to an from and what industries they serve. Google earth is an asset. Cheers from Sydney Australia

That is a very long single line in Hull with no passing loops. Kind of says it all really.

Hi Dana, Still on crazy lates/mega earlies at the moment. The next videos won't be of 66's though, they'll be of HST's and Class 91's on the East Coast Main Line. I'll be filming as soon as it gets light enough for the gopro to capture everything.

Headlights on the EWS/DB 66's were about as much use as a candle in a big room - The UK standard at that time was for headlights to allow people to see us coming and not to allow us to see where we are going (we rely on route knowledge for that). The latest headlight standard brings them up to modern headlights with LED and Xenon bulbs providing a good degree of light output.

About time - have you ever seen American locomotive headlights? I was a Rock Island Brakeman in my Junior and Senior years in college, working out of El Reno, Oklahoma and those were bright headlights. The moths swirled in our lights like a blizzard of snowflakes - beautiful. Wished I had stayed in the railroad business!!! Now at 63, I am way out of the game. Regards, Dana.

and where we are now is whats left of the Yorkshire and Lancashire railway sad opened in 1843

Apparently, for trailing moves, at that location they can use the weight of the loco to move the blades over

starts at hull & ends near kellingley

At 15.38 the point is set correctly , but at 15.54 and 16.01 the points are set for locos entering from the left , can someone explain this

@WestinghouseProductions

Hand operated points. For facing moves must be manually set and physically examined for correct fitting. But for trailing moves in the reverse direction, the rules at the time allowed them to be ‘trailed’ to use the weight of the locomotive to move the blades over.

Hi Paul !!!! Haven't heard from you in ages! Are you still planning to film more locomotive cab ride videos like this one ? I hope so for I find all of your videos excellent. Could you please at least respond to this comment and let me know that you are all right? Are you still working nights - is everything going well ? (I hope so but am concerned that I have not had responses to repeated queries dating back to 7 months ago.) Please respond, will you, please ? With best wishes and regards and hoping I will hear back from you this time. A concerned subscriber. Thanks, Dana.

Hi Dana. Thank you for your continued requests and concern. There will be videos uploaded as and when I get chance/time to make them. It's not a quick process getting the correct permissions granted and then setting up the equipment and editing it to make sure that it's suitable for uploading (Such as dubbing out any commercially sensitive or safety critical conversations that take place etc).

Saffiny Chan, we were permitted to pass through trailing points providing they were manually operated without having to set the route. That instruction has since changed to prevent excessive wear and tear on the point blades when they swing over.
