On what was the hottest day of the year so far, 56302 and 56051 arrive and run round their empty tanks prior to propelling into the North Tees Navigator Terminal for loading on 26/06/24.
The light engines returning to Doncaster are then seen at Belasis Lane with 0D45 Haverton - Doncaster Colas Sidings.

So glad they’re still being put to good use!

Remember as a child the amount of coal trains and freight trains using this line going in to ICI and down to Port Clarence before seal sands was invented the good old days never to be repeated

Grids on safari - excellent video. Great locations and lucky with the weather, too.

Great video. Part of Teesside not often seen. Remember the rail movements well during my time working at Seal Sands.

Thanks. Although I'm not local to the area I remember seeing the train conveying the 'nasty stuff' in the late 80s/ early 90s between Seal Sands and ICI Haverton. Such a shame to see it all gone now but at least the branch has now reopened for the bitumen traffic, albeit only as far as the terminal at North Tees. I noticed while I was there that the Seal Sands branch has been tarmacked over in several places now, I'm surprised none or very little track has been recovered but I guess it's down to cost etc.. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Some nice footage there chief, bit of a busman's holiday methinks.

Very much so chief, been meaning to get to the 'other end' for a while now, back to the joys of the Preston end on Monday. Plenty of shunting to do this week for tanker maintenance etc..

How come it's coming from Haverton Hill now and not Lindsay ? I bet those tracks haven't been used in a long time !

@Sam_Green____4114 change of supplier, plus Lindsey isn't currently producing bitumen.

When I was a kid 50 odd years ago we would see coal being moved through Leeds on trains that seemed to be a mile long ! 2024 and people are still train spotting 👌
