What always amazes me is how the railways have allowed the lineside to be overtake by dense vegetation and huge trees.

Great video Kenny. How does the 66 get back on to the London end. Is there a run round further on ?.
@KennyQ08Ай бұрын
The run round takes place on the tracks to the left but it is not as simple as that. When the train arrives (usually with 20 wagons) the first 4 are loaded by the gantry crane. Then moves forward towards the strapping line setting the next 6 for loading. Then sets back into the run round, runs round and pushes loaded 4 towards the quay. Eventually 14 are put towards the quay and the remaining 6 after loading and running round are set back into the strapping line points set for outover road then pulled forward then set back onto the 14 loaded. Train is now complete and checks made for departure.

Brilliant 👏👏👏. REALLY enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing. I’ve traveled up and down this line for years from Darlington to either Shildon for Locomotion or Bishop Auckland to see family but never seen it quite like this. Thanks again for sharing.

I first travelled to Darlo by train in 1975 and it's amazing to see how much infrastructure has been lost and how the railways have been overtaken by tree growth.

Looks like you came off the Hartlepool Docks Branch although I have never seen a train on it for years.If I recall it has a steel gate on it.Never seen anything on the Seal Sands/Port Clarence Branch either.Regarding that relief track to the left between Hartlepool and Seaton Carew it looks really rusty but I caught a Grand Central 180 between Hartlepool and Northallerton a few Sundays back and it actually went down it.There must have been something wrong with the up main.
@KennyQ082 ай бұрын
Concrete tunnel segments are coming out of Hartlepool docks every day for HS2. Colas are bringing an oil train off the seal sands branch a couple of times a week.

13:20 Aycliffe Lane crossing, Heighington Station. This is where the S&Ds first locomotive was put on the line, having been delivered by road from R. Stephenson's works at Newcastle. The building on the right dates from those early years, and needs to be preserved.
@tooleyheadbang42393 ай бұрын
It's been 'rationalised' to the limit. Apart from the section at Cliff House, all flexibility has been carefully 'designed-out'. I remember seeing FIVE rakes of coal wagons under Davis Bridge; Two of fulls, two of empties, and one on the headshunt waiting for the road to the ICI power station. (16-ton side-door type, these last). Good to see Platform 3 at 'West' back in use, though. The long bit of 'wrong road' beween Clarence Rd. and the docks branch is a legacy of using the cross-over put in when Plat. 3 was abolished. If the Docks get busy, it'll have to be moved closer to the junction. Are you planning to do the Graythorp branch?
@Sam_Green____41143 ай бұрын
What's in the Wagons ? Steel ? I'll bet these tracks haven't see a train in years !
@Jamie922083 ай бұрын
It will be empties to be loaded with tunnel lining rings for the HS2 tunnels that are being friven from Old Oak Common towards Ruislip. At their present rate of progress the TBM's are using at least 112 segments per day so these trains are pretty regular.

Look at the Potash that has trickled out of the wagons onto the centre of the tack ! There must be a whole wagon load on the track between Boubly and Tess Dock ! Maybe they could invent a little railway vehicle with a pipe that sucks it all up once a week and takes it to Tees dock !?
