Steam Trains At Speed On The Mainline - Volume 2

Sit back and enjoy another steam at speed compilation, looking mainly at the last 12 months of mainline action. 5 locomotives are seen this time, operating up to the maximum allowed for steam '75mph'.
Foot note:
Diesel locomotives "Tail Gunner"
The use of Diesel locomotives on some tours is because of operational reasons. Some of the tours run to destinations with no turning facilities, so the diesel hauls the train to a location where the steam loco can take over again. They are also used for train heating, assistance on steep gradients(especially during leaf fall season)and are a great help if any problems arise with the steam loco.
Most Diesels used are interesting machines in their own right too, with most of then now over 50 years old, some even 60 years old now.

    I think we all know it's only a matter of time before steam trains return as the dominant locomotive. They're faster, better looking, and above all, more powerful! The only obstacle is fuel consumption, and maintenance costs. Both of which I'm pretty sure shouldn't be too hard to overcome in the future.

    There was a wood plank bridge over a main line on a footpath behind factories near Old Oak sheds in London that I crossed in 1955-61 and if a train was coming I'd wait there to get covered in steam & smoke.

    Steam Engine speed is super and proved as Old Gold, but heavy atmosphere pollution dueto heavy Smoke. It is our brilliant USA scientists first innovation on the trial of to move even heavy vehicles like Locomotives too just with steam controld moving wheels under a pressure of the steam is really awesome.. Hats off to the scientists who innovated like Mr. Jameswhat and developed in different stages to arrive in this stage is successful of their dreams like this...RBS

    It only pushes when negotiating steep gradients, otherwise it takes on the role of a generator coach (electricity and/or heating is provided for coaches from diesel engine generator e.g. at night). It can also be handy for shunting duties once a rail tour is done and the coaches need to be stored.
