MEGA FREIGHT DAY - 60 Movements 09.00-19.00 - Barnetby Station Wed 8th May 2013

Start with a Super Tug and end with a Super-Tug!
A visit to Barnetby on Wednesday 8th May 2013 certainly didn't dissapoint with plethura of freight movements, the majority being coal. Love the semaphores and the two signal boxes. This is proper railways!
Arrival was 09:00 and unfortunately didn't start videoing until 09:45 as I realised I had actually left my camera at home, some 243 miles away! A quick call to the brother-in-law who lives in Lincolnshire to see if he was at home and to borrow his Canon 5D but sods law he was in London.
So, out came the ipad2, let's have a go with this and see what happens, I had nothing to lose!
Here's what came through, some filmed, some not. It's a long video so grab a coffee, some biscuits and enjoy. Apologies if the ipad moved a bit, it was bloody windy and the occassional rain, but in the circumstances, it was the best I could do. Won't leave home without camera again, that's for sure.

It wasn't my day as I had also intended to visit the chippy and get a bite to eat but got down there at 8.10 and they close at 8pm, so anyone going there, make a note they close at 8pm! It just made the Full English Breakfast that more enjoyable!

Thanks for taking the time to film this, takes me back to my childhood when we used to sit on the embankments and other places to watch the trains, all changed when they electrified the lines and fenced it all off :(. Used to get passenger throwing ciggie packets out the windows and stuff, I didn't smoke back then , but was loads of fun. Back in the day when you could put your ear on the track and feel if the train was coming :). Bygone age that my kids will never experience.

Some epic filming Steve. It is many years since I last went to Barnetby but this video brings back a lot of memories. The semaphore signals almost seem to belong to a bygone era. Clive.

Brilliant Video mate. Very busy freight movements. Subbed :)

Cant figure out what the relief driver was doing when he climbed onto the Loco at 01:18 Can you put me out of my misery, Great Work, Well Done!

[@g8ymw]

Well done Steve, despite the forgotten camera, you did a very good job. Those blue containers are the Roxby Binliner. Together with the steel flats, they were diverted because of that landslip at Hatfield Colliery
