Jeez, a real struggle

Which unit was on the service and do you know where it was heading?

Great catch i thought it would be top and tail but it can't be

Very Nice video and sound ❤❤❤❤ gretinngs From Zagreb Croatia 😊😊😊

Amazing!

Nice ragons

Here all along I always thought of Freightliner as a truck, but ow it’s on a train.

points not set for the down trip

After all this time I've only just found your excellent locations for videos of CBG; we'll miss it!

Im a train driver in romania and i would absolutely love to work with one of these powerfull beasts!

EMD 710 diesel engine, sounds very similar to those used in the SD60 funnily enough. (compared to an SD70ACe for example)

Once it gets past the crossing the brakes are on continuously for 8 or 9 miles!!! And the trains are still running now in April 2023.

No wonder the entire fleet is f**ked, bet the amps are bouncing off the top of the red

bet the engine coolant temperature was starting to rise and the system as a whole was working really hard to keep everything cool - awesome sounds!

Shes preserved now and as claggy as ever

I saw this coming down from Cwmbargoed, I was standing in the rain and tired from running out of my house to see it from the bridge

The siding is on a hill side, so the wagons are on a gradient. I have had to put two 66 in multiple once as rail head conditions were bad . Worked up there in all weathers day and night

Poweeer! Speed and Poweeer!!!!

Whoops,mind you don't trip.2.36

Just walks away with it, all in a days work for the legendary class 66. Count the detractor foamers in the comments calling them "sheds"... but if it wasn't for this locomotive they wouldn't even have freight trains to watch because their beloved British junk would've bankrupted the entire network.

put on a little independent next time, tends to minimize wheelslip

Looks Like a second unit should would be called for.

No i rozjazd rozpruty!

That's pure power there ,From a class 66 Generator ,Love that power up sound ❤️Play it through a Soundbar makes a great sound like you are there ❤️🎼🎚️

Excellent greetings from TrainSpotter TV India

Nice video, greetings 🇳🇱

Love to see these heavy trains working narrow, leafy back lines.

🚂👍

Awsome

Super - Im record in Poland Similar CLASS 66606 :) Greetings kzbin.info/www/bejne/fquqgJyVr8Rgpbs

I see some comments saying 37s would do better - in sound, maybe but they're honestly pretty weak locos. they'd not move an inch, maybe if it was double or triple headed but a single would pull itself to bits trying to shift the load.

Needing a more large motor!!!!!

Just shows you Britain should have bought american diesels in the 1960's. Here are some 1980's vintage EMD locos tackling a 1 in 50 grade with 4000 tonnes. They were designed to run like this all day: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4bdiKuPZcetgaM

Man, it's only when the engineers step on the loud pedal that you really get an appreciation for how powerful these engines really are. That is super cool.

Lovely 😎😎😎

Running through the yard points, no problem.

Freightliner experiencing why this was Class 60 territory and before that tripple class 37/7

Brakes dragging ?

Whit an amazing sound capture 👍👍👍

I was sure a wagon had to still have it’s brakes still set until i saw the length of the train !

Love it! :D

Was this 88 as I didnt join the railway until 89 and it was all DMUs when 8 started

Is that normally a 66/6 turn?

You have to admire these locos even as common as the class 47 were back in the 70s these things seem to be able to shift anything ? I was waiting for the drawbar to snap ! One day in the future im sure platforms will be full of enthusiasts mourning the passing of the class ? I know one thing for sure it wont be in my life time !

Nice shot

Sorry, Just can't get excited about these characterless quiet things. They are like the anti matter of character if there is such a thing. What was the designer thinking about? A badly made offensive shed with corrugated sheets stapled on the sides because they got the length wrong and that someone's painted it green to avoid the local council tearing it down. No one told them engines are supposed to look good and proud? It sounds like a 70's washing machine on a variac turned to 300V just before it flys apart and melts. A good video though!

Love the way he just slings the lamp on the ground....oh well it`s not his property is it.

Clueless comments on here from the armchair brigade! Ffs, you'll never experience being a driver and that shows. This would have killed a 56. The 66s aren't my favourite traction but they do a fantastic job.

That looks to be struggling...
