We rented an apartment overlooking the BMW yard in March 2019. We became accustomed to the whine of a class 66 arriving (or sometimes departing) across Canute Road at around 01:30hrs most weekday mornings. Hey, trade is good! Those track-side bushes have grown in five years!. The sheer length of this train gives a good indication of the amount of railway track still extant inside Southampton Docks.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I was told some years ago that the maximum number of carriages that any freight train is allowed to pull in the UK is 40. And as other viewers have clearly confirmed there are 46 here.
@davesrailsplanesautos85158 күн бұрын
@@neilburns8869 not the case at all, however told you that is totally incorrect. It is purely limited by the total trailing weight the locomotive(s) are pulling and the maximum length of any section/loops the train is going to use/pass through.

Interesting to see that they are using closed car carrying stock for those. Recently there has been some footage of the Toyota car trains from Toton to France via the tunnel (shot somewhere in the Nottingham area), and they use open sided stock, so you can see which models are on board - export for some (Corrolla), import for the others (Yaris).

Watching the crew loading the cars on at the factory is an eye opener. They drive on and along the train almost as thought they're on a dual carriageway yet they have minimal clearance either side

Was up there for testing of new equipment for refurbished trains and potential new features on new stock orders. They invested a lot of money in putting 4th rail in to enable this and also possible future work.

@@davesrailsplanesautos8515 Wasn't the 92 stock refurbed and retraction only a few years ago? Are they having another one? Also if it already had 3rd rail I don't imagine adding another rail cost much given the power supply was already set up.

Irish Rail have a similar crossing to this on the Dublin Connolly to Rosslare line (I think it’s Wexford Town) where the train passes through the town at low speed - and one of the lines around Dublin Port has a level crossing similar to this, but it’s only for freight trains and for new rolling stock coming off the ships at North Wall heading for the old CIE works at Inchicore via Liffey Junction, Cabra and the Phoenix Park Tunnel onto the other lines out of Dublin beyond Dublin Hueston

I wonder what the value of these cars is. If each wagon carries six cars at c£25000, that is £6,750000. Are they double-deckers? = £13,500000. Give us this day our daily bread!

In 2000 I remember waiting in my car near this crossing or perhaps traffic lights a bit further east, couple hundred yards or so perhaps, and idly looking around and seeing a rundown hotel to my right and caught the embedded enscription around the wall just under the eaves which said in letters about a foot high each:- "Near this point King Canute attempted to control the tide." (Or words to that effect). I did think, "wow, so it was near here then". I not been near there for ages now, don't know if it still exists.
