For those of us. Who would rush down to the railway lines after school to catch the Glasgow Inverness flyer secretly hoping it had a name as well as a number,indeed praying it was a first time sighting to underlined it in my book brought so much joy,and for those of you who are criticizing don’t try to understand because you never will.........regards....steam man.🚂

As a child in Australia I lived a few kilometers from a railroad. I would often fall asleep to the sounds of a steam engine huffing and puffing and blowing its whistle in the distant. It’s one of my fondest memories from my early life. Thank you for a beautifully shot video (or was it film, which is even more impressive!). From California.

This is a work of art. I love the beginning: looking down the track surrounded by 19th century English infrastructure, listening to English fauna in the background, all of it setting the mood. And then, ever so faintly, we here that un-mistakable sound, building to a crescendo as she comes into view. Beautiful, just beautiful.

Oh to have been there just for those few brief moments to see this magnificent living breathing mechanical beast doing its thing and passing by at full throttle! What an experience and what a thrill!

Reminds me of the Great Central going through the Aylestone Meadows Leicester. My Dads allotment use to back on to the railway and the sound and sight of the steam trains coming through and then as the sound faded away the sound of the skylarks and other wildlife would slowly return to fill the void until the next steam train........Just beautiful memories for me of English childhood summer days.......

Not quite at speed yet - but a lovely mix of sound and picture as she slowly gathers speed to emerge out of the tunnel and pass us.

Man I love old train but also impressed with the 9 years old video quality of this footage taken from a personal camera.

Professional digital camcorders with quality images have emerged since 2005

I've read some of the comments about the "wasted" time at the beginning of this video and personally, the soundscape at the beginning builds up the drama of the scene. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience as it showed the main event to its full extent. A steam loco working hard and driven well is more than a visual experience- it is sound as well and the echo of the exhaust from the tunnel and bridges is very much part of it. Those who would've cut out the "wasted" time are missing the point IMHO. If they had their way, the video would start with the loco 30 metres away from the camera and end once it went out of shot. Each to their own I say...

Well said...I've seen photographers 'snap' the engine and scurry off before the train has even begun to pass by - no doubt to rush off to the next location to shoot it again! Savour the moment I say - listen to it getting nearer - and listen to it fade away! Cheers, Will.

In India heritage runs with vintage steam engines are organized in the winter months. But unfortunately they don't use the old coaches. I believe the old coaches were mostly made of wood and are either decayed beyond repair or are not safe to run anymore. Many are displayed in various museums though

Seeing the steam railway always charmed me so much.

I remember lying in bed and listening to the noises from the shunting yard as a 4 or 5 year old. A couple of years later I was lucky enough to have a footplate ride on Mallard on the turning triangle at Grantham.

I remember coming to this park as a kid and watching the trains go by. After what happened in 2018 they got fences around all of the walls so you cant see as well as you used to :(

Nice vantage point here and a beautiful engine at work.

I remember as a young boy going down to Sydney Gardens to watch the trains.

I am always fascinated by steam engines.

My only disappointment on my Orient Express trip was that we were pulled by an electric engine! Would have been so “Agatha Christie” if there was a Steam Engine pulling the consist of restored passenger wagons. I did ride a lot of European steam trains when I was stationed in Germany in the 70’s though! Nothing like the distinctive whistle sound of the Daylight 4449, with smoke billowing along the engine top to the streamline cars behind. A special visual treat on the horseshoe curve just north of San Luis Obispo, CA. When one is in the observation car at the rear and better still if it is from the outdoor platform of “Private Varnish”

Like 4 days ago, when me and Dad were right by the tracks, (we went back every time that a train came past!) a steam train came past, and I got so shocked! We saw ICE´s too!

Impressive acceleration !

Sooty, smoky smelly things. I love 'em. British engineering at its best 👍

It was awsum to see such majestic engine still exist & running.

Oh that 1:20 is just fabulous. It gives the tremendous sense of the impending - you can really feel it. Provides a lot, you're listening for every sound, not hearing it yet, just like the people gathered for the real event! And then the thing arrives! Wow! Makes it great! The force of the stack-blast against the undersides of the bridges is really impressive. Gives you a sense of the power being brought to bear in those cylinders. Awesome!!

I've chased a lot of steam in the states and my shots tend to all look the same. I love the sound and how the engine is framed by all the bridges, great job!

A glorious sight. Thank you for posting.

Love the sound of it.

This was surprisingly relaxing!

It's amazing how relatively small the UK is landwise, yet how many railroads they have!

It's amazing that you can hear that steam loco so long before it comes into view. I guess the tunnel amplifies the sound.

Great little sequence, thanks for uploading! I hear that Network Rail have put up some sort of fence in Sydney Gardens now, prior to overhead electrification work, which seems a great shame.

Nice footage! For all impatient viewers like me...The Train appears at around 1:25... ;-)

Its strange that people wave to a steam train but there again I do it too Its like waving to a queen of the railroad

great video is a great location liked

The interesting thing is that you can pack the entire Hogwarts Magic school student body on that train! I’d say that means 180 students total. Of course, in the Great Hall there looks to be maybe twice that. But the rule is that every student arrives by that single train.

@PatHoffman10

I might be wrong but we only ever see the interior of two coaches. So maybe a few of the coaches have been enchanted to have gigantic interiors to accommodate the entire student body. Or it’s just a standard train for a movie about a magical school.

Lovely staemer, nice video.

Good train

No diesel at the rear, that’s because at Bristol, the steam Loco can run around its own train.

The first 1.20 seems to be focus of much derision, cant see why it gives an opportunity to admire a mass of Victorian railway architecture lots of which which has sadly disappeared since Beeching. Steam videos are not solely about the locomotive there are many enjoyable aspects

I miss those trains!!

# number - just one of a series, I'm afraid - check out steam train at speed 2 or 95 in HD for my favourites

Awesome underpass views. I bet that would make a cool Facebook cover photo !!!

Reminds me of my childhood.

The footage of the train was great but after I first started watching it I thought that there was something behind my monitor that had blocked the train, but after a few checks I suddenly heard the sound of the train from my speakers.

I also am fond of steam locomotives (in fact, I consider electric or diesel locos only boxes on wheels). I propose of running at least one mail train from four big stations (out of which, three were grand railway terminals) i.e. one from Howrah for South-Eastern Railway, one from Howrah for Eastern Railway, and one from Sealdah for Sealdah-bound Eastern Railway, and one from Chitpore also. May the Mumbai-Howrah Mail, as Mr. Bhaskar proposed, can be among those mail trains, but I think WP Steam Engines (which have been nicknamed "Canadians") should be used in Howrah-Madras since among the first slot of those locos, alongwith Frontier Mail, Taj Express, and Grand Trunk Exp, these engines were used in Howrah-Madras Mail also), and at least one (would be better if more) express trains are hauled by WG or WL class steam locomotives.

The single powerful headlamp is so the train can be seen by anyone working on the lineside. I have been on the footplate of A4 60009 Union of South Africa many times at night doing 75mph and as long as you can see the signals that is all that matters. Lets face it, if something is on the tracks you are not going to steer round it.
