British Rail 58023 running under own power - Leicester LIP Depot - 30/03/21

A brief visit to Leicester saw 58023 in action, performing some shunt movements around the depot, as part of what appeared to be depot training. A number of other locomotives are seen including Europhoenix class 91s 91117 and 91120, DATS 43052, Class 58 Locomotive Group's 58016, and a selection of DC Rail Class 56s.

It Lives! Finally an operational and moving class 58!

Svr bound

[@antonysmith9173]

Brilliant. I remember going to Doncaster works seeing the 58,s being built. Such lovely memories. They were not used to thier full potential, waste.

[@AidyJamesStevens]

I used to watch them all the time in Worksop as a kid. I thought I'd never see one moving under its own power again - it almost brings a tear to my eye! Thanks for capturing this moment.

[@justinobrien3593]

A rare loco in running order i ain't seen one move or in real life for decades! It must be 30 years since I last seen a class 58 in the flesh!!! I think I will have to take a trip upto barrow Hill soon!!! Good video of this bone in action 🥰😍🤩

[@BrickishRail]

It's certainly been a while since they've seen any action in the UK, hopefully it won't be too long until this one makes some visits to some heritage lines! Bear in mind, there aren't any class 58s at Barrow Hill, though always a nice place to visit nonetheless :)

[@calebmumby5803]

what an incredible day you had that day seeing a class 58 moving around under it's own power lovely hopefully it'll be on the mainline one day keep safe

[@gazclass58]

Awesome my favourite class moving not seen a 58 in operating for a long time 😀👍great video

Thanks for sharing this video of the lesser spotted Bonio great to see a bit of history working again

[@g8ymw]

Always had a soft spot for "Dem Bones" I used to live in the Chesterfield-Worksop area and worked at Staveley Chemicals so got to see them regularly

[@danielsellers8707]

Same area as me - used to see them all the time!

[@mroscar323_6]

I never knew what a class 58 sounded like until now because all the other videos are 20 years old

[@StrawberryStationMusic]

I remember there being a 58 sat in the siding at Leicester for years. Never thought I'd see one running under its own power again, much less in those very sidings! Cool thing to witness, brings back memories of watching freight come through as a kid. :)

Great to see another slice of the past having another blast👍👍

Nice to see the old 'un on the move again! Thanks for posting.

[@joeritchie7286]

So good to see a 58 again , I thought they weren't around anymore

[@BrickishRail]

Most of them still survive in some form: 4 preserved here in the UK, plus 58022 which is being used for the Ivatt Diesel Recreation, then the remaining survivors are stored in France and Spain after having been exported in the mid 00's.

[@benconway9010]

@@BrickishRail yeah but will we be getting them back tho??

[@railfreightdrivergallagherGBRf]

@@BrickishRail 38 in total, from 50. Rumour has it 25 'may' be brought back from Europe for HS2.

[@danielsellers8707]

Well 58050 is claimed for the National Railway Museum but it's been in a derelict state in France for years. Last loco built at Doncaster.

[@SimonTog]

Some good catches :)

[@TheOnlyTYRE]

Brilliant to see a 58 Bone moving under it's own powering, how long has it been?

[@BrickishRail]

The last Class 58 to run in the UK was back in 2002, so it's been a good 19 or so years

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

This loco is going to the Severn Valley Railway for the first time ever even though some of the 58s were wiped out of service 21 years ago but 58023 and 5 others are the only survivors

[@Nate0493]

I can’t wait to see her! Apparently there’s rumours that 016 (the one in the background here) may also be operational and could attend! Just have to see

[@RTTrainProductions]

Shall be a great appearance, £100 out the bank just to ride it!

[@steventhornton4716]

Truly fantastic to see one under its own steam agai though

[@Gwril76]

Brilliant footage 👍

[@chriswilson2431]

Wow. I thought the 58’s had all gone for scrap or export.

[@jonh845]

Arguably the ultimate 12CSVT, but sounds rather different. Looking forward to hearing 023 opened up properly one day.

[@BrickishRail]

Hopefully soon!

[@danielsellers8707]

So it's a development of the 37's engine then?

[@jonh845]

I believe it's at least 'descended' from it. Similar claims can be found in the RailUK forums; also the Class 56's 16 cylinder version can be considered a descendant of the 16(C)SVT in 10000/1, Class 40s, and Class 50s.

[@peterpoppy360]

I cant remember the numbers exactly, but during my apprenticeship I worked on the build of the 58's and there is a chance I worked on 16 and 23

[@joebutler3118]

Bring back British trains 😁

[@danspotter8618]

@BrickishRail FINALLY SHE MOVES A LIVING CLASS 58023 abd im a new Subscriber to your channel

[@chrisst8922]

23 is a busy little engine who lives at Leicester with his friends DC, Large Logo and DATS. One Tuesday his driver told him that they were going to do some training. ''But I know what to do'' exclaimed 23, ''I don't need training.'' His driver explained that it was the men that need training and that he was just needed to show them how. 23 felt very proud and bustled off with his smart blue paint. Unfortunately some of the other engines like to poke fun at him, sometimes they'd snigger and call him ''Boney''. which he didn't like and sometimes they would cough whenever he came near. 23 spoke with his driver: ''They're coughing at me, it's because of my smoky chimney.'' His driver told him not to worry about it and promised to take him for a run later on. When he pulled up, the men in their orange hi viz gathered 'round and told him they liked training with him and with a happy toot he bustled off ready to tell his friends all about it.

[@roaming.spectre.]

Hopefully this will appear at a gala, make a change from 37s and 47s at every gala….

[@class66]

She still there? What she up to now?

[@devonboy2258]

What a brilliant video uploaded to KZbin. Nice to see a class 58 loco on the move again after so many years. I love the class 58 locos used to see loads through the Worksop area when I was younger. Do you by any chance know if 58016 will ever come back to life again? Would be nice, but at least 58023 has been given another chance in life again. 😀

[@BrickishRail]

Glad you enjoy it! I believe 58016 is currently being worked on by the Class 58 Locomotive Group, so hopefully in the coming years, she'll join 58023 in operation!

[@michaelsandford1015]

So they let the class move around on the Sidings

Isnt there another one in the background the white one last time I saw one was when I was about 12 it was pulling freight through Ashford so how many are rail worthy now?

[@garymoore3461]

They should have stopped the class 56 at 100, and built 50 more of class 58. British muscle. Whats happened to 58050? Is it still intact, and when is it coming home?

[@BrickishRail]

58050 is still stored in Spain, no word on when (Or indeed if) she'll be returning to the UK

@@BrickishRailNever, unless it’s painted Green and has flying Scotsman on the side, the railway museum at York aren’t interested.

Cheers for that

[@richardjellis9186]

Does ANYONE know, how many 58's are still either, in service, or stored in such a manner that they 'could' go back into service, whether that's on a preserved line, or, like many locomotives now, back on frontline duties.?🤔?. Can ANYONE help me with this.?🤔?. These were MY favorite 'freight' loco's, and have wondered this for years now.! Thanks, in advance of any info given.!🥰🥰🥰!.

[@BrickishRail]

No class 58s remain in active service. A large number are in storage in France and Spain, though reportedly in poor condition and are unlikely to return to traffic. In the UK, 58023 is the only one currently in operation, and was originally planned to attend numerous preserved lines last year until Covid put a stop to them. Three others are in various stages of restoration: 58016, which can also be seen in this video at Leicester, and 58012 and 048 at the Battlefield Line. 58022 is currently at the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway in Wirksworth, and is being stripped down for parts to be used on the LMS 10000 Ivatt Diesel Recreation. Hope this helps :)

Dose this mean the 58s are back on mainline freight?

[@BrickishRail]

Unlikely you'll be seeing a 58 doing freight work any time soon

[@johnbartlett8664]

Wouldn't it be nice if the same was done to the remaining 58s as what's being done to create the class 69s from ten old 56s; Class 71, anybody?

[@professorjamesmoriarty5191]

It was looked at, but there isn't enough room to fit the engine inside the body.
