Trackside UK No.11--Mossend Yard August 1989.

Enjoy triple head 37s on iron ore wagons to Ravenscraig Steelworks,
a class 26 on a trip freight and class 86/5s on speedlink duties,
and plenty more besides.

Excellent footage, I remember going along to there a few times in the early 90s . Sad to see that most of those locos rolling stock and traffic has long gone.

[@colingarwood9971]

Thanks very much for the kind comments, and i'm glad you have enjoyed the footage you have seen so far. Since i now live in Scotland i have made a few more films of the freight up here but i still have quite a few older videos to upload first.

[@duncancurtis5971]

Ah yes when we were still at school but with our first, crummy cameras but quality film to look back 35yrs later on what's now gone for good 👍.

[@colingarwood9971]

Thank you Duncan glad you enjoyed this video. Just a shame that vantage point wasn't still accessable like it was back then

[@AndreiTupolev]

Triple Tractors on the Ravenscraig iron ore! Awesome!

[@colingarwood9971]

Thank you Andrei. Those were the days

[@johnemsden735]

many thanks for this as it brings back so many happy memories of better times 1000 times better than todays few locos e.g. class 66 on boxes or stone workings

[@colingarwood9971]

Thanks a lot for watching my channel John, i'm pleased you enjoyed the video and i agree with you, it was all so much better then. 👍

Lost count of the number of times I filmed fromthis spot. Unfortunately the place is now fenced off,so you can't get near it now.

[@colingarwood9971]

Yes it's a shame Hugh as the nearest i can get to film there now is Holytown, but that's better than nothing i guess. Thank you for watching and have a great week. Colin.

[@derekporter7658]

When we had a better variety of locomotives and locations to watch.

[@colingarwood9971]

Oh so true Derek 😮‍💨Thank you for watching.

[@dieseldave3879]

Thanks👍

[@colingarwood9971]

Thanks for watching Dave.

[@ClydebridgeStation]

To think a year later, all eight class 86/5s were converted back to 86/2s.

[@SteamboatWilley]

You got yourself good spot there. I don't think you would be able to film from the same vantage point today.

[@colingarwood9971]

Oh if only you a ! Mind you you won't see that many 37s and 47s as back then. Thank you for watching. 👍

[@paulcresswell1843]

Great vid. Any ideas as to why the bottom of the cabs was cut done on 37373?

[@colingarwood9971]

Hi Paul thanks for watching my videos. I'm afraid i have no idea why 37373 had the bottom of its cab noses missing, kinda like a cars bumpers missing. Regards, Colin.
