Can people please spell Scrapping with two Ps and not one p? Scraping means something different, as in I scraped my knee. Otherwise, good work!

A real shame that there are electric locos being scrapped whilst there are still diesels under the wires

I understand Aggregates Industries have bought Land Recovery. Since they have left the Rail industry (sold all 59s to Freightliner) it doesn't look good for these 60s now.

Think original plan was to have their own locos but as you say new owners now. The quarry were the 60’s are stored weren’t part of the deal so who actual still owns the locos new or original owners. Interesting times. The quarry is closed at the moment

They 'should' be heading to Loughborough for fitting of CAT (class 68) power units and new ancillary equipment. No doubt a new classification to so will be interesting to see which from class 61,62,63,64 & 65! JG.

Awesome video as usual, these were two great tours and I was lucky enough to see both.. which doesn't happen very often! 😆 44871 put on a nice show, she wasn't too great when I saw her but I enjoyed seeing her nonetheless - the 47 was more than likely the highlight of that tour for me, thanks to the driver with all the tones he did! 😅 I believe I spoke to you while the 60/57 tour was in Chester, I was wearing a black and white coat, and I was at the end of the platform in that video of the 60 running light past Chester. 👍 Again, amazing video - I really enjoyed it!!

In the late 1980’s I used to travel on this Bidson Line each way once a week for 5 years to college in Liverpool, so it was nice to see what we passed each time. I remember seeing diesel shunters working here.
@arthurgrowler5749

If you look on the video, when the shunter leaves the yard into the steel works there’s the old shunters shed. I do remember yellow diesel shunters parked up outside but never seen them move. I only remember Allerton based shunters doing the shunting for steel and wood into the paper mill. Used to be about 3

Why does the train run ? Does the steel go there to be finished ? Or to be turned into an end product ? Is the shunter an ex BR O8 ?
@arthurgrowler5749
@arthurgrowler5749 14 күн бұрын
08615 is ex BR at some part of its life. Wabtec supply the shunters for the steel works. Steel comes up in coils, finished off at shotton. Painted & galvanised products I believe!

i think its for distribution, seems ironic to me that steel coil is being delivered to a place that used to make steel, this needs to stop we need steel production and the push to net zero is making the likes of china the world leaders in steel production at the cost to the west
