Just watched this video hiw amazing it sll was just as i remember it from mid 80s tull early 90 s. Just so busy and amazing variety. In those dsys, you really didnt know what would turn up on on a summer saturday. Brilliant

That was just wonderful to watch. Sadly I never did get to fire or even travel along the Maclear line. Do you remember what 19D they used on your trip?? It looks like my old favorite 19D 2683 but perhaps not. As for Montagu, well I just loved that 14CRB and GEA. I fired both locos up that pass many times and loved them both. Saying that, the GEA was the more easier one to fire of the two. The 14CRB would burn the arse off the fireman and after two trips up Montagu on her ones overalls would be burnt through. Every time I turned towards the tender my overalls started to smolder from the heat. I had to keep pouring water over myself. Those were for sure the great days of my life. Before Voorbaai I was based in Kimberley and working that fast mainline was much harder work, especially on a 16E or other hand fired machines. Thanks for a great video

Diese Welt hiss " Deutsche Bundesbahn"...

We must admit that 120 series were more "sexy" than ugly 101...

I'm sorry? But do Chinese Steam trains have horns? Because I don't hear any whistles, I only hear horns

The memories of being able to stick your head out of the window :)

Fantastic. Brings back great memories of spotting Birmingham New Street .

07:50 - My home town Genthin

Could watch this everyday 👍 The quintessential 80s video

Советские наши паровозы😊😊😊😊😊

Excellent video, I loved seeing 47 460, one of my absolute favourite 47s. And the 71 at Bescot, perfect!

Enjoyed, times gone by now.

Was the shot of 47580 at New Street filmed on Sat 3rd Sep 1988? I remember getting 47580 back to Bristol that day when it took over from 31407 at New Street working an afternoon York-Taunton service…

We travelled at leasure and peacefully. All this modern stuff, and speed has killed train travel.

That horn doesn't match with overall steam ambience.

Brings joy and happiness to me and great memories of old bashing and trainspotting days to see those beauties coming and going from Queen street. Love your uploads thanks for the memories.

Electrification of Jining-Tongliao-Railway is completed except jing peng section [replacement of old line by a electrified double track tunnel]

No more steam in china😢😢 Steam locos has banished from the tracks a lot of years ago The chinese railways incl. JINING-TONGLIAO RAILWAY IS MOSTLY ELECTRIFIED CHINA UNDER CATENARY !!!!

Magnificent ❤

Stunning, More strength to the enthusiasts who continue to “huff ‘n puff” through our magnificent countryside ( not seen on any motorway) Doreen

Its a pity there wasnt any footage of Elliot near Barkley East. Otherwise great video all together with simply fabulous scenery thank for bringing all this to us for everfond memories

Remember it well. Look at the amount of spotters !

It's only taken near 50 years but they've done A great job of spaffing all this down the crap pan for "progress"

I was hoping Elliot would be fully shown in video😢my grandfather was working the railstation in mid 70s before his retirement soon after. I have little memory of their house close or in the turn triangle. Hope any1 can help me with photos or video of the station from that time as i would like to make a model layout based on it.

All your video's are fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing with us!.🦘

Great stuff! I worked at BNS 83-89, as an announcer, so this brings back many happy memories...

The NSE livery really suited the 50s. They look even uglier!

When trains were trains and BR was better than the privatization we see today.

the train consits where far more interesting than locos in that time

Sehr fein!

Absolutely awesome! I am such an enthusiastic steamer and so old fashioned, could watch this for hours. More garret power to all involved in this history. Please do not go too “green” to loose this!

Welcome to Mordor. Pure magic. Back then people didn't call each other 'Veg' either

What was the other tunnel portal at Queen Street for? There's no other portal at Cowlairs. A headshunt? Great vid. Brill.

Just come across the channel. I have fond memories of DB in those days. Einheitsloks everywhere and of course class 103, plus no graffiti or weeds. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing awesome video...well done..!

So war es in RSA.

Que nítido colecciono trenes de juguete

I think this is during the NS 150 year celebration in 1989.

That Class 58 at 34:04 was amazing. Didn’t realise they worked passenger trains back then!

4:55 5:08

Enjoyed thanks.

Einfach wunderbar und vielfältig wie der Bahnbetrieb abgelaufen ist, sehr viele Lok und Klassenzüge da gabs dann auch noch Arbeit für die 1061 im Verschub. Hochwertige Schnellzüge waren fest in der Hand der 1044, 1042er und 1141 fand man ebenso wie der Rumpelkasten 4030. Echt Wahnsinnsaufnahmen recht herzlichen Dank Erinnerungen and die Kindheit bzw Jugend

This is superb work you have here. I can't believe there are so few comments and likes. I will tell all my friends. These QJs had to be some of the most magnificent steam locos ever. Well maintained and s, capable and handsome. Tanks so much fot sharing these gorgeous scenes and soounds. :-)

I love the dinstinctly Afrikaans accent of the narrator's voice.

Any idea what the 58 was doing on a passenger turn? , I'm guessing it was a special.

I Think You Should”Post Another Video About Stream Trains Because I Am Am A Big Fan Of Steam Trains.

The Moment I Saw Those Steam Trains Feels Like I'm Back In The Olden Days.

ALL action and as we new it ,plenty of Railway Spotters.

NICE as it was with great sounds

Is that thunder I can hear at about 4 minutes in, just as a 47/7 is leaving platform 6? The rain looked torrential and it sure looked dark enough for thunder.
