[@thestaffordshiretrainspott5799]

Brilliant video Phil

[@Phil6219]

Thanks mate

[@JordanClass37Fan]

Brilliant video. I had checked rtt about 30 mins before these were booked and nothing was due 30 mins later I hear a 37 roaring past then checked rtt and this was booked haha gutted.

[@Phil6219]

Thanks mate, I didn't know anything about it until I got a call from a mate when the rescue engines were just leaving Carnforth.

[@atomiswave1971]

That was more news worthy than Brexit.

[@Phil6219]

Haha yes indeed :D

[@andrewganley9016]

Hell fire!

[@PhilPage227]

How embarrassing for Railfreight. I agree that this will take a lot of beating Phil, very well done.

[@Phil6219]

It happens Philip, just the proximity to Carnforth meant that something with a bit more vintage could come to the rescue ;)

[@PhilPage227]

@@Phil6219 You were certainly in the right place at the right time Phil.

[@JackJolley]

What a catch very jealous I was out for it but had to go home before it was rescued

[@Phil6219]

Thanks Jack, that's a shame.

[@kennethhume8628]

Great video , good work by WCR , but please WCR relivery your diesels from that awful maroon .

[@Phil6219]

I along with most others wish they would but it's not going to happen, still at least 47828 will brighten things up for a bit :)

[@mat12128]

Christ, not a day goes by without that thought crossing my mind!!

[@bluegrid6848]

Cracking shot Phil. Would it be possible to use this clip on the next Locomaster Profiles Traction DVD?

[@Phil6219]

Thank you, yes I don't see why not but could you send me a copy? If you like I can send you the raw AVCHD file without watermark.

[@bluegrid6848]

Thanks Phil. Not sure if you saw my earlier reply so just sending it again. Yes you will receive a copy of the DVD. If you can send the original AVCHD file that would be great.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Good job it didn't happen on Monday. Everyone would have gone "ha ha yes".

[@Phil6219]

Very true :D

[@alistairscott137]

Can't beat the older engines, class 66s are just crap give them back to America.

[@Phil6219]

I wholeheartedly agree :)

[@HSTHoward]

Whopper. Big shame that loud mouth came over the PA!

[@Phil6219]

Cheers Howard, yeah the announcement for the service literally finished seconds before these came into view so even a goldfish would have known what was coming in...

[@iMeyrick]

That "loud mouth" is only doing her job.

[@HSTHoward]

iMeyrick I know, just saying it was bad timing!

[@iMeyrick]

@@HSTHoward Fair enough!

@@iMeyrick Chill, im sure it's just a recorded message and no one's feelings were hurt.
