British steam trains at full speed! 2013 - 2015

[@silverviking33]

I personally love the fact that the british know how to run steam trains and are not afraid to do it. so many of these beautiful engines sit in museums, cold and lifeless. to see a steam train in all its glory is a real thing of beauty. long may they ever live in steam.

[@electrik_loss]

1:11 The "May we have your attention please" being drowned out by the thundering of Galatea is just hilarious to me.

[@tommytippee5900]

8.35 to 8.53 is the moment,its just mesmerising,the second time she whistles at about 8.48 is me as a small boy at Preston station with a steam train racing through and whistling. Im in tears as i write this. thanks for this beautiful moment and these metal creatures that really have souls.

[@kevinhaynes9091]

Watching classic steam locos at full tilt never gets old. Thank you...

Didn't expect to see between 2:50 mins and 3:20 mins Starcross on the Exe Estuary the railing on the sea wall was a Job I help with when working for a local railway maintenance company in my village. Every Saturday night for months in the winter not nice at times due to the weather but really enjoyed that job. Really love the sound of those whistles as they fly by, Really fantastic videol love it

[@manohar2864]

I am an Indian and right from my childhood days.in India old trains are discarded and in few hilly stations they are run. I satisfy my love for steam trains by watching these videos on trains and I should honestly admit that they are excellent

[@stephenwilliams1269]

Magnificent video. You can smell the oil and coal as they thunder past. I travelled on steam trains as a child and I am still excited when I see them. Happy days. Thank you for making your films,

[@Oktolibre]

9:48, that sound wave from the rails, wow...

Wow, that was amazing. Do not often get to see steam trains going full speed. Thank you.

[@danw1374]

Bloomin lovely! Thankyou so much for this upload :)

[@setheatontheautobot4586]

I have a few questions if it's okay: 1. Where's the Flying Scotsman? 2. What is the point of the diesel at the end? 3. How come Mallard isn't allowed for rail service anymore?

[@marcogentile3392]

I can only answer the last 2 questions: 1) the diesel at the end is used as power supply for the coaches and as possible emergency braking 2) Mallards boiler has "expired", so they can't use it to make her run. To do that it needs to be replaced

[@morlrd]

Thanks for these wonderful clips. How can ANYBODY who makes the effort to come here, not be enthralled by the spectacle of these beauties, and then click the "Thumbs Down"??? 112 pathetic twits to date. Unbelievable. And - OH - those beautiful A4s. Nothing else quite like them, for me!

[@johnclaytoninterviews660]

Truly nifty - but all these videos forget is that people like me watch to see and hear the steam engine - NOT the carriages flash by .. follow the steam engine!

[@AbdulHafeez-gw9tx]

Nice video which gives joy of steam train journy. Its my pleasure to see beautiful trains running with steam locomotive.

Sadly no shots of Brookwood Surrey, it had no speed limit on the up and down fast lines.

[@RTWest-kn5fr]

I'm a native American-English speaker, but speak Mexican-Spanish daily. If you please, sir. How about a little audio refresher? Like starting the video with a little throat-clearing ? Followed by a proper British accent on the sound for some of us who could benefit from the audio practice, more properly get into the genuine spirit of the British steam train experience and fully participate in your excellent video. Maybe the whistle sound on another video, if you think it too much? Gracias. Desde Colonia Centro Histórico, Puebla, México, DerRobMann sends... envía...

For some reason I used to think Steam Trains couldn't run on electrified lines cause they'd ruin the wires.

[@Trains4Fun]

I'm amazed at the speed of these machines. It's a great compilation!! In Canada steam passenger and freight service has been entirely been replace by diesels trains. Are there many steam engine serving in the freight industry as well?

[@mrbaker7443]

can't beat proper trains

[@jamesmckelvey]

Unfortunately the last regular Steam hauled service in the UK took place in 1968 (I think) and likewise they are all replaced by Diesel Locomotives, Electric Locomotives, DMU'S (Diesel Multiple Units) and EMU's (Electric Multiple Units). The Locomotives in the video are all excursion services operated by private companies. Nice to hear from Canada - I have cousins that are from Britush Colombia but I've never been there. Hope this helps Kind regards James McKelvey

[@jamesmckelvey]

oops British Columbia not Colombia ... Autocorrect!

[@wharris302]

James McKelvey well the RH&D is a public railway and it operates steam trains daily

[@Trains4Fun]

James McKelvey​​ I've never been to British Colombia, but it's probably one of most scenic provinces you could possibly visit in Canada. It's cool you have cousins you could visit. I believe there is at least a couple steam engine excursion out west in the Rocky mountains and would be a pretty cool trip.

[@billligon4005]

How do I find out about up coming train events so I can book a ticket??

[@manohar2864]

Please read the first sentence as right from my childhood days I am crazy about steam trains

[@LIMowersAndMore]

I wish the us had more mainline steam they don’t usually go as fast as UK steam. But we are making another locomotive called The T1 they said it did 140 so let’s see if it actually come true hopefully, live another year with PRR steam.

[@blackbirdgaming8147]

Peter Lombardi We don’t go that fast because it’s illegal to do so here in the US. The maximum legally allowed speed for locomotives not equipped with PTC and/or cab signals is 79 mph. As soon as all the major locomotives we have here in the US receive that treatment, we will see them speed up significantly. It is also worth noting that running locomotives hard is very hard on them. The 4449 crew has had no problem running 70-75 and 90 mph, but it’s very hard on the locomotive and as 4449 is the last of her kind, they prefer 60 mph.
