Canute Road Crossing - Eastern Docks Gate.

464N 0821 Morris Cowley M.A.T. to Southampton Eastern Docks. Interesting scenario at Southampton Eastern Docks Railway Gate. BMW Mini Cars being transported into Southampton docks for the Hoegh Osaka large car carrier which less than a year later sunk!

[@inglian02]

Good to see that crossing still in use. I was local to the area at one time and saw Clan Line returning from the docks about 15 years ago.

[@johngillard4197]

What a change from 50 years before. I worked for BBC South at South Western House in the early 60s. Our tv studio was at the front of the building with rudimentary sound proofing and at some point during the live evening news magazine programme, possibly 6.25pm those in the studio could plainly hear the sound of a large handbell being rung and a diesel shunter pulling some rolling stock over the crossing. Not sure if the viewers ar home could hear this, though.

Wow interesting articulated autorack railcars! Not a lot of those in the States...

Wow, had quite a few on for our Railways, but really good to have a mixed Transport system. Reminds me of Bristol years ago, tracks everywhere in town.

Beautiful siding!

[@chriswilliams3801]

If you look on Google maps at the satelite image of the town just north of Southampton called Swaythling you can see the same type of train passing through the station. It's massive.

[@clonSanG]

They should use rail all the time for everything and bring back old lines

[@SgtChip]

Yes. It would be more economical and eco friendly in some situations.

[@NS-xo6qe]

With proper investment (yes, sometimes you have to spend money to get good things) rail is a relatively cheap, eco-friendly, profitable business opportunity, but only when run properly. Look at the Shinkansen in Japan as a perfect example.

[@SgtChip]

[@stnicholas54]

How many railcars were on that train ? I lost count somewhere or other.

[@UKWMO]

Looks like they could do with sorting that track joint out you focused on while the train was passing over it. Perhaps if it got any worse it could cause a derailment?

[@WardyLion]

UKWMO There’s another level crossing past the gates which goes over the dock road. Back when I worked there the track was really wavy and I wondered how on Earth the train stayed on it!

[@besnikzogaj9887]

Hold it, my friend.

[@Synthematix]

Highly unlikely at 5mph

[@stephensmith4480]

@@Synthematix You could not be more wrong my friend. I attended a derailment at this very location,about three years ago as a member of the Breakdown and Recovery team. The leading coach behind the Loco came derailed,both bogies,it was a Saturday afternoon,if my memory serves me correct. The track along there,we all thought needed some TLC. It was also a rail tour. I have seen vehicles derailed at walking pace,for a variety of reasons.

[@jamesmcbride6304]

Just about to say the same thing, they will probably wait until there is a derailment before they do anything, then it will cost them twice as much what with the delay in getting the cars to port.

[@nicoladale1668]

I did wonder if the gate operator looked where he was going when he crossed the road...

[@tributory]

Nice video - liked! Impressive numbers as well.

[@zenith7010]

[@Queen-of-Swords]

I grew up near a line that had a lot of freight on, generally the coal trains. That was in 1970's when coal was a big industry. The last one went through about midnight. Still love the sound of trains! Bdm-bdm, bdm-bdm... ❤️

[@horsenuts1831]

Dunno, but I would love his job. It probably has an employer-funded pension and union representation. I'm sure he wears out a couple of sofas every year....

[@lawrence18uk]

Ok, so how do you get the cars in and out of the train? Are there boards (ramps) which fold down at the end of each rake to make one long 'road' along which you can drive the cars out? Are they pulled out? Or do you uncouple the rakes? Seems like a lot of work to manoeuvre them in and out. Wonder if there's a video of that part...?

[@MrKnowwun]

The outer shells lift up hydraulically, cars are double racked, you can split the train in two, and you drive em off at a ramp. They are called "Auto loaders". www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5050663

[@ChimpManZ1264]

Wow! How does a train that long get into the shunting bay?

[@newage3]

The train gets split in to 3 portions and places for unloading in the docks, there needs to be a concrete pad at one end of each section for the unloading ramps to stand on.

Now that’s what I call a freakin hotel! It’s beautiful 😍! And those gates are funny because they aren’t going to stop a fully loaded freight train 🚂 going at full pelt are they. I guess they’re there to keep people out rather than the trains 🚆 in? It’s extraordinary how stupid and selfish people are that they’re still crossing the tracks when the siren 🚨 is sounding . It’s much more important to save a few seconds risking your life than wait a minute or so while this enormous Engine passes. After all a thing like this isn’t going to make a nice bloody mess out of you when you get crunched and squashed underneath its wheels! What a bunch of impatient idiots
