Class 66 Cab Ride DB Schenker 66044 Hull King George Docks to Sudforth Lane 6M38 HD

[@tonywright8294]

Finally had a ride on the Hull over head rail way .only waited 60 years ! Thanks 😀

[@KingstonHomeMaintenance]

I started my railway career shunting all over these docks, all the way to saltend, the quays and sidings in a little 08. We use to either bank 47s round to the Quay or propell the wagons. Use to have to jump off a wagon to stop any dock traffic then jump back on. At 21:30 if you was heading toward the docks you can take that branch and do a full circular and without having to change ends, had enthusiasts train down there, and yes what a shock it was telling the companies to move their crap off the line.

[@amandasmith3303]

This is brilliant!I live about 10mins away from the docks, and so interesting seeing my home town this way. The only way I will experience this journey so thank you!

[@jameshowitt2463]

It is fascinating to see the remnants of a once bigger system and to bear in mind that since this video was posted the changes - near cessation of coal traffic; resignalling etc which have taken place. Thank you for posting.

[@lauriecooper8194]

Brilliant video, especially sound, & such an interesting route. Not seen one of your videos before but I'll definitely be watching them in the future & thanks very much.

[@jake580]

Hi Paul. Many times I have watched trains enter and leave Hull docks and wondered what the view's are like on this goods only line. Well, a big thanks to you for this video and allowing these scenes to be seen. It was my plan to drive trains and, but for an eye injury, I probably would've been making my own.

[@medwaymodelrailway7129]

Like the new video that you done.Thumb's up from me.

[@44662dc]

Most enjoyable video never seen the freight only track from King George Dock really good

[@jess.hawkins]

Very interesting -so many closely spaced "stop and wait for instructions" boards at the start!

[@Sheza58]

I drive along the road at 12:30 every single day and never knew there was a line that close.

[@robinmoss5470]

Another very good video. Many thanks. I appreciate the good picture quality and the fact that you give us a wide angle view. The route is interesting. It annoys me that the main line from Hull westwards is flat and straight with easy curves but has semaphore signalling and low speed limits.

[@WestinghouseProductions]

Robin Moss cheers for the compliment. In 2018 when the resignalling is complete with control going to York ROC, the line speed will be increased to 90mph for the majority of it. It is only the signalling that currently restricts the line speed at the moment. 👍

[@tonywright8294]

Why does it annoy you ?

[@jan-akemagnusson4559]

I love the sound of the 66! :)

[@norbertnedsworth7172]

Superb. Many thanks.

[@jdr4893]

Great videos enjoy them. Some of them trees could do with a cutting back look very close to the line.

[@MrOldways]

Hull is fly-ridden for sure.

[@jp2ric]

Is it me or are the points at 15:56 and 16:03 set wrong?

[@VauxhallRailfan]

Apparently, for trailing moves, at that location they can use the weight of the loco to move the blades over

[@martinjh999]

I've often been surprised just how many wagons a Class 66 can pull on its own as they go past. I guess it's just the way they are designed I guess...

[@russouk]

you overtaken by a house at 14:08 whats the hopper at 12:30 on left is it for gravel etc ? btw im sure I just saw Del Boy....lol

[@cloggy1067]

wood chips for Drax

[@roconnor01]

Love the sound of those General Motors EMD 710 diesels, but by god they'd give me a headache if I had to listen to them for 8 hours a day.

[@brianburns7211]

roconnor01 I’ve been working on them for years. They’re better than listening to a GE, but don’t sound as good as the old roots blown EMD 567.

[@ReFlectiveMan]

Depends on the cab of the locomotive. I can't speak for the Class 66 as I'm a US railroader, but the non-isolated cab SD70M-2/SD70ACe are fairly awful to be in for 8-12 hours. Hearing protection is a must on those engines. On the flip side, the isolated cab versions of those locomotives are really nice to work in, with one of the quietest cabs in the industry.

[@brianburns7211]

I’ve run just about all GM models at one point or another. During my thine at BNSF, they had a pretty eclectic roster, with everything from old end cab switchers, to SD70mac. My favorite to run was the SD9.

[@michaeljohn7262]

Something we get used to.

[@bgoth1435]

Am I seeing things or are the point at 15:50 set against the train but it goes through them anyway?

[@DanaMackstormdog94]

Hi! Just checking in...is there any chance of new videos in the fairly near future? Thanks, Dana.

[@DanaMackstormdog94]

Hi again! Are you planning any additional videos in the near future, I hope. They are excellent. Regards, Dana

[@WestinghouseProductions]

Hi Dana. More videos are in the pipeline - I'm waiting for better weather and times when I'm at work in daylight too. 😀

[@DanaMackstormdog94]

Hi again ! I asked you a month ago about new videos but you did not respond. Could you please, please, please, tell me if you are still planning any new train cab ride videos soon, or are you not filming videos any more ? Thanks, Dana.

[@brianburns7211]

The loudest are the 8-710. We have them in the Eco rebuilt geeps. I’d rather switch with the GP9s they replaced, or better yet a good GP38.2.

[@VauxhallRailfan]

15:57 the points were reversed?? Not set right??

[@WestinghouseProductions]

Trailing through hand points was allowed back then. Not anymore though.

[@DanaMackstormdog94]

Hi, I love your videos - any plans for more of these? Thanks.

[@WestinghouseProductions]

Dana I will hopefully have some more up soon.

[@amandasmith3303]

24.15-We would skip school and sit near the tracks here,on the drain bridge. No fencing up in those days!

[@LukeBriner]

That is a very long single line in Hull with no passing loops. Kind of says it all really.

[@WestinghouseProductions]

Luke Briner freight only route once clear of Springbank North Junction. The infrequent use of the line means it’s not financially viable to return it to dual track.

[@liampw20]

Says what exactly?

[@TheAudiostud]

I see Evil Knievel couldn't wait 🤔

[@DanaMackstormdog94]

Any updates on new videos? Are you still working nights, or is there a chance you might get a day slot to film a ride? Thanks, Dana.

[@Trek001]

Why is the AWS tripping when on the line out of KG docks?

[@DanaMackstormdog94]

How are the new videos coming along since I checked with you a month ago? Regards, Dana

[@WestinghouseProductions]

Hi Dana, I've been ongoing with them, but trying to get them done with the shifts I have at the moment is proving difficult as I'm rarely at work in daylight during the winter period.

[@DanaMackstormdog94]

Any updates on new videos ? I am aware it takes time but just curious!!! :)))) Regards, Dana.

[@saffinychan9540]

15:55 were these 2 points set wrong?

[@WestinghouseProductions]

Saffiny Chan, we were permitted to pass through trailing points providing they were manually operated without having to set the route. That instruction has since changed to prevent excessive wear and tear on the point blades when they swing over.

[@christopherbaglin4314]

I was about to question that myself, but thought I'd read down to see if anyone else had queried the same thing. I've enjoyed the vid so far, so I'll go back to watching the rest- and thanks for posting.

[@annajeannettedixon2453]

and where we are now is whats left of the Yorkshire and Lancashire railway sad opened in 1843

[@rmlectronicsuk2410]

Often wondered how you cope if you get a quick dash of “the trots”? Is there a loo on board & second man?

[@JamesW81]

I worked catering on the railways and visited the cab of a few locos. It seems like they are not fitted with toilets, and if drivers are caught short they may just end up crapping in the ces. Obviously with passenger trains, the driver could use the on board facilities, I'm guessing as long as they had time. But if you gotta go, you gotta go!

[@andybenstead7240]

At 15.38 the point is set correctly , but at 15.54 and 16.01 the points are set for locos entering from the left , can someone explain this

[@WestinghouseProductions]

Hand operated points. For facing moves must be manually set and physically examined for correct fitting. But for trailing moves in the reverse direction, the rules at the time allowed them to be ‘trailed’ to use the weight of the locomotive to move the blades over.

[@opinioncounts5490]

I have a great idea, why not inform us where any of this is, like Texas, Maine, where ?

[@brrob8108]

Humberside, England.

[@VauxhallRailfan]

It literally says in the title lol

[@danamack7405]

Hi again !!! I had asked you a couple of months ago if you planned to film any more locomotive cab rides, and would appreciate you letting me know. Thanks, Dana

[@AustNRail]

Any chance you could indicate the lines that you cross, go under and join through the docks line? Love to know what and where the go to an from and what industries they serve. Google earth is an asset. Cheers from Sydney Australia

[@hamshackleton]

What are those four yellow objects that look like air-brake cylinders, at 2.11? Thanks.

[@Puckoon2002]

Flange Lubricators. Used where the track has a check rail, to reduce wear and noise

[@DanaMackstormdog94]

Any more definitive word on new videos or are you still working nights? Have you any idea when you might start getting a few day runs? Thanks, Dana. (Does the class 66 have bright enough headlights like we have in the States to make a night film possible?)

[@WestinghouseProductions]

Hi Dana, Still on crazy lates/mega earlies at the moment. The next videos won't be of 66's though, they'll be of HST's and Class 91's on the East Coast Main Line. I'll be filming as soon as it gets light enough for the gopro to capture everything.

[@DanaMackstormdog94]

That will be great - what about my question on the headlights? I know class 66's are built by EMD of Canada. Not sure of the headlight strength of the HST or the class 91. Regards, Dana.

[@WestinghouseProductions]

Headlights on the EWS/DB 66's were about as much use as a candle in a big room - The UK standard at that time was for headlights to allow people to see us coming and not to allow us to see where we are going (we rely on route knowledge for that). The latest headlight standard brings them up to modern headlights with LED and Xenon bulbs providing a good degree of light output.

[@DanaMackstormdog94]

About time - have you ever seen American locomotive headlights? I was a Rock Island Brakeman in my Junior and Senior years in college, working out of El Reno, Oklahoma and those were bright headlights. The moths swirled in our lights like a blizzard of snowflakes - beautiful. Wished I had stayed in the railroad business!!! Now at 63, I am way out of the game. Regards, Dana.

[@jasinere35]

starts at hull & ends near kellingley

[@DanaMackstormdog94]

Hi Paul !!!! Haven't heard from you in ages! Are you still planning to film more locomotive cab ride videos like this one ? I hope so for I find all of your videos excellent. Could you please at least respond to this comment and let me know that you are all right? Are you still working nights - is everything going well ? (I hope so but am concerned that I have not had responses to repeated queries dating back to 7 months ago.) Please respond, will you, please ? With best wishes and regards and hoping I will hear back from you this time. A concerned subscriber. Thanks, Dana.

[@WestinghouseProductions]

Hi Dana. Thank you for your continued requests and concern. There will be videos uploaded as and when I get chance/time to make them. It's not a quick process getting the correct permissions granted and then setting up the equipment and editing it to make sure that it's suitable for uploading (Such as dubbing out any commercially sensitive or safety critical conversations that take place etc).

[@annajeannettedixon2453]

now this year this railway is 150 years old opened in 1869

[@silyfivvyeerold3175]

a thing ive been trying to find out is where do freight trains go to?

[@WestinghouseProductions]

Wherever the customer wants their products delivering to. This may be power stations, quarries, cement works, container terminals etc.

[@silyfivvyeerold3175]

oh thanks

[@annajeannettedixon2453]

from goole to Royton and back I have traveled on the footplate of W-D 90099 harry Batsby driver then there were two roads and long passing lopes Snaith had a four road marshalling yard and goods exchanged shed now is all weeds and trees

[@davidfinnigan7611]

MORE GOING TO WORK IN WATCHING PLEASE YOU TUBE PLEASE TTHANK. YOU

[@MrVirtube]

I've often wondered what happens if you need to pee when driving a train?

[@WestinghouseProductions]

When stopped, exit the cab and in to the nearest bush!

[@tonywright8294]

You get wet under pants.

[@joeking5310]

@14.00 house overtakes train 😁

[@grahamclapp6931]

captions outa line corrections needed

[@normanbridge8924]

what a painfully slow to this journey it is barely out of 15mph lol good views though

[@greatbritishentertainmentl5636]

Nice ride, but shame there was no station or junction information, or a clean window.

[@Dowager66]

Whinge whinge whinge whinge whinge whinge whinge ....

[@davidfinnigan7611]

Rail good for the new Class 66 in train for new engine and Power in Royal rollers DB Sc

[@michaeljohn7262]

Eh?

[@annajeannettedixon2453]

the complete lunacy of past government putting all freight on to the road has had its environmental impact, this was a bad idea from the off more freight by rail will be quicker and lest environmental impacts

[@annajeannettedixon2453]

noises of this diesels would do my head in very noisy bring back steam locos there much quieter I do hope the drive has earmuffs on as you need them with this noise
