RAVENSCAR RAILWAY STATION AND TUNNEL

[@davidhill3547]

Interesting for me as I have memories of taking the train through the tunnel a number of times back in the early 60s. Also have to fess up that I have walked the track up from fyling hall area to ravenscar back in the steam days, one could hear if a train was coming from way back at robin hoods Bay Area.

amazing memories thank for sharing

Excellent video. This small bore tunnel must have been a hell- hole for loco crews.

[@geoffreynelson2353]

Brilliant this video

[@m.curbanexploration3232]

Thank you so much

[@laurarules3642]

Love this channel and I'm glad you took your videos off private because I had the videos saved to go to the three shipwrecks and the Skelton mine and I was going to use the videos as reference. I just wish you'd upload more often

[@m.curbanexploration3232]

Thank you and there will be more videos to come but our shifts we work are different to each others so it difficult at the moment, but we will sort this. Thanks

The concrete blocks were buried in the cinder track bed in the middle of the track and were used to check the alignment and gauge of the track. The blocks had brass metal in the centre, with a groove in the middle. The cinders came from York power station and were a reddish colour before becoming black (ish). I drove a car from the Fyling Hall end to Ravenscar in the late sixties. The trackbed had been levelled by a local farmer using disk harrows, there were no bricks on the trackbed.

I really enjoyed watching this Paul you did a great job when you see a structure like this you can't help but thinking about the working conditions the miners worked in I recon it will last another 140 years. great footage Paul

[@m.curbanexploration3232]

Hi Bob I am really glad you like it my friend. I have always been in awe of how amazing the engineers were back in the day and these structures were built to last. Thanks my friend for watching. There is alot more to come my friend.

Very enjoyable video, this tunnel now on my to do list.

[@evelynjepson5955]

around the Lyke Wake Walk area...my cousin, Rob Broomfield did it on a number of occasions...and his cremated remains were spinkled at St. Mary's Church Yard at Whitby, in the late 90's or early 2000's.

15:52.. Not sure what these stones are for, seem to be unique to Ravenscar, as they aren’t in Kettleness or Sandsend. Struggling to find any reference online either…

[@mototakahe836]

Good to see you looking at other subjects. Diverification.

[@m.curbanexploration3232]

It's always best to be versatile Paul

[@davidsanderson1891]

Hi Paul well done on the return video. Looked good. Suspect those stones might Be marker poles for the train driver. (it's a total guess mate.). Take care mate. Old dave.

[@m.curbanexploration3232]

Hello old Dave and thanks my friend. You could be right about those stones and I will research that and find out and let you know. Take care buddy and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Your friend Paul

[@MineExplorerUK]

excellent Video ! thoroughly enjoyable. Did you visit the radar station pal? Stay safe buddy.

[@m.curbanexploration3232]

I didn't visit the radar station Peter but that is on our list in the next few weeks buddy. Looking forward to your upcoming video which is tomorrow I believe. Stay safe friend

[@geraldeade391]

Great video Paul and not far from me

[@m.curbanexploration3232]

Hello Jerry its good to hear from you buddy. I'm glad you enjoyed it my friend. Hope your well buddy

[@stomperthemixer1]

Awesome footage and well put together Paul, MC Urban will revisit this location and i'll make sure my dairy is clear for this one. Them blocks look similar the the ones you would support something off the floor, like the decking blocks, hope someone can shed some light on what there were for in the comments.

[@m.curbanexploration3232]

Yes M.C Urban Exploration will definitely do a revisit to this one, the full team. I do hope some one can shed some light on what those blocks are.

Dismantling the Scarb /Whitby was a mistake
