Another great selection of goodies there Steve. Keep it up.

[@Gwril76]

Cracking Video again Steve. Great mixture of loco's at this superb location. Cheers :)

[@cmeonthemove]

Excellent colection Steve. Nice to see some workings there suitable for a trainset!! Those 70s sounded fab.

[@siobhan104]

Well done Steve, great action as always from Acton. Nice to see the 67's doing there bit too. All the best...Tim.

[@danielmartin4516]

Excellent video I do love the sound of those class 70s they sound amazing

[@steve71p]

Cheers, glad the workings are giving you some ideas :) Thanks for watching, cheers Steve.

[@steve71p]

Thanks for watching mate, cheers Steve.

[@steve71p]

Thanks Steve, your comments are appreciated.

[@steve71p]

Thanks very much Ken, this session was from about 6am - 9.30am. In my opinion the best place for variety on the WCML north of Crewe... the perfect place for your next jolly down to this neck of the woods ;)

[@grannyjone]

steve71p yes better than bank quay for freight as it gets the liverpool to crewe traffic as well

[@antman09ful1]

Supurb morning set of clips you have here at Acton Bridge Steve, with a nice collection of loco's too Mike.

[@steve71p]

Cheers Tim, yes it's nice to see the occasional Class 67 pass through. Thanks for watching, cheers Steve.

[@steve71p]

Thanks very much, cheers Steve.

[@steve71p]

The Skip runs round at Northwich so it comes down the WCML from Arpley then back up diverting for Liverpool then branching off at Runcorn. Well spotted with the tail lamp... I hadn't noticed that!! Cheers, Steve.

[@steve71p]

Thank you, yes it's a great location. Cheers, Steve.

[@oggie122]

That's the best thing about Acton Bridge, you get traffic from both Scotland and Liverpool. A good variety of motive power too.

[@steve71p]

Thanks mate, watch out though as the lights go off from 1am - 5am ish. Cheers, Steve.

[@AndreiTupolev]

What was that Skip doing shuttling back & forth with those same two containers? Novel way of hanging the tail lamp too. Shot worked out well with the 350 & the 90 @ 4:00. Those vans & 4x4s do look rather close to the wires, though, don't they. And a nice meeting @ 10:00.

Excellent vid Steve, well done! Skilful panning action and a gift for avoiding bowlage - what more can we ask?! Although the platforms are very narrow and clips can look a bit samey, this is more than made up by the sheer variety and quantity of locos! You must have been there pretty early on in the morning. Liked and faved. Ken

[@grannyjone]

4:19 those class 90s can pull a lot for a light weight 4 axle loco

[@LDEGM]

Great video!:)

[@steve71p]

Bit late for me replying but everyday is pretty good... think I saw you there last night halfway down P3? I wasn't filming but had stopped by for an hour or so too see some pals. Judging by what passed through whilst I was there your night was off to a good start... will watch out for your video :)

[@Taperet]

A superb site to shoot freight trains :) Nice!

[@aloisius1950]

Bravo!***

[@steve71p]

Thank you, will do my best :)

[@steve71p]

Tell me about it :)

[@steve71p]

Thanks Bill, yes it's fair to say I'm riding my luck with avoiding bowlage at the moment... won't be long till I fall victim again :)

[@matthewlamb3856]

Wicked morning

[@steve71p]

No but only because of that reason, there is certainly a lot of activity late on though. Good luck :)

[@steve71p]

The perceived ugliness of the Class 70 is part of the attraction for me. They are absolute powerhouses and my favourite modern day locomotive.

[@grannyjone]

steve71p I prefer the 68s but much rather a 70 than a Fred (66)

[@chanzyism]

Good

[@steve71p]

That's exactly why I can't stay away from the place!!!!!!!!

[@AndreiTupolev]

* And lucky at 11:11 !!

[@oggie122]

Tell you what though, those 70s look horrible but seem to perform well. Wonder if they'll live as long as the 47s and 37s.

[@grannyjone]

Paul O'Gorman they will be around for 50 years I think and while they may be ugly I prefer them over a 66 because a 66 is relatively boring
