Les. An avid watcher of your videos whilst have my lunch each day. Would you mind telling your camera make and model. Best wishes, keep them coming.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks! Its a Sony FDR-AX53 - details also on the video description!

It's been so long since I last visited Settle, that I can't hazard a guess as to which decade it was. That dip at 1:19 is the change from a downgrade of 1:200 to 1:100. So that's what the 'Logs' and the other freights look like at speed instead of trundling through Carlisle. Those 158s have nealy 13 miles of almost continuous 1:100 ahead of them starting just N of the station. That's when they arrive at the S portal of Blea Moor tunnel. All these details are from 'British Rail Mainline Gradient Profiles' published back in 1966. A well-thumbed book I own.

A shame I couldn't have recorded some northbound freights but the southbounds seem to fly .

[@trainsontuesday]

That was good Les. I've never stopped off anywhere along that line, always through from Carlisle to Leeds. There seemed to be quite a few people using the station, what is at Settle?

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Settle is an old market town at the edge of the Yorkshire Dales and therefore a magnet for holidaymakers. Cafes, Pubs, weekly market etc. Its also a marketing draw for the Settle & Carlisle line with perhaps 6 or more tour groups per week taking the train from Settle to Carlisle. Ribblehead though is the big draw for walkers and photographers of trains on the line crossing the viaduct.

@@LeslieGilpinRailways Thank you Les.
