Acton Bridge Station 10/07/14

Thursday 10 July 2014. A few hours spent at Acton Bridge Station this morning yielded a lot of Class 66 workings, including quite a few engineer's trains. Not sure what was happening with 92039 working 0K15 at the end of the video, it passed through the approach signal then came to a halt shortly afterwards... just before the points for the loop. The next signal is a long way south of the station and was red. I can only assume the driver passed through the approach signal at single yellow, and then took the opportunity to stop briefly to test/rectify something?

Great video, plenty of the 66 action, I saw 66418 & 66426 up at Stafford then Tamworth. By the looks of the 92 that stopped it may of been a brake demand if the driver was to late to press DSD. Anyhow very good looking forward to your next collection.

Awesome footage from Acton again Steve. What was the 92 upto at the end ? Super viewing once again....cheers

[@steve71p]

Thanks Steve, a couple of people commenting have suggested a DSD issue for the 92 mate, but I'm still not sure.

I usually forget to hit like when I watch vids but seeing those 86's just made me reach for the mouse . Sound silly but some guys will get it

[@steve71p]

Thank you, in previous years I have filmed a lot of 86's screaming through Acton Bridge but not so many this year. I think this is a combination of slight changes to workings and loco allocations, and the time of day I have been visiting. Cheers, Steve.

[@tezwilliams2497]

great vid steve its good viewing at acton bridge can you tell me how to get to the footbridge & field where you filming from is it a public right of way wouldnt mind a look from there thanks.

[@steve71p]

TERRY WILLIAMS Thanks Terry, both footbridges are on public footpaths. Leaving the station car park turn right and it is only a short walk to the first bridge via an overgrown path next to some terraced houses. The second bridge is about 500yds further down on the right where there is a gap in the hedge and a public footpath sign. Cheers, Steve.

Driver may have not have cancelled DSD in time, think it's about a 90 second wait for it to reset.

[@steve71p]

Thank you, could well have been the case... cheers, Steve.
