A mega compilation I've put together of Freight Trains, Engineering Trains & Locomotive Movements caught on camera over the last few years. During the pandemic the Railway has played a more vital role transporting goods & cargo across the UK. In this 65 minute long video you will see non stop action from a mix of diesel & electric locomotives doing their thing hauling Freight, filmed from all over the UK from a variety of locations.
The main workhorse these days of British Rail Freight is of course the class 66. The 66's will show up just about anywhere so there is undoubtedly a huge amount of class 66's featured, operated by various operators in many colourful liveries.
Other than the class 66's, look out for the now retired Freightliner class 86 electrics. Usually seen working in pairs up & down the WCML & GEML.
ALSO FEATURED: Class 59's, 90's, 56's, 70's, 88's, 68's, 37's, 47's, Royal Mail Class 325's & more!
All footage taken was filmed over the course of the pandemic. 2020 to early 2022.
The clips shown are in no particular order.
Sit back, turn up the volume & enjoy over an hour of British Freight Trains & Locomotives in action.
Thanks for watching this video!

Love watching these rail freight trains. My last house I lived in, I used to hear the rail freight trains really early in the morning.

I don't live far away from the Leicester to Birmingham line and can hear the freight trains going through in the middle of the night

As an American train fan who has taken a lot of interest in British trains over the years, I must say that Freightliner, EWS, and all the rest of these companies do it well especially with those speeds!

@briangriffiths1285 5 ай бұрын

Yes, they have to keep out of the way of passenger trains on the same routes. The passenger trains often scheduled at 125 mph running so the freight mainly at 70 mph but on electrified lines up to 90 mph.

The British engines may not be as powerful as the American engines or the freight trains as long as American trains, but they do move fast.

@Sidewinder1009oli Жыл бұрын

Freight in the UK is more limited by structures, distance between signals / junctions etc than by engine power. Due to the number of passenger trains that run, and in a smaller area, they need to run faster or they’d disrupt people travelling too.

@MinegateTransport Жыл бұрын

They have to be small, and fast to keep out the way of the high speed trains as well as normal passenger services, there isn’t room for slow lumbering long container trains

I gotta say your camera work is superb! So many people on YT who have loads videos but they're shaky as hell and erratic on the zoom. But your work is excellent sir! Nice and steady, controlled and well planned zooms and your panning is excellent too. One thing I did notice on this video is the older stock is often double or even triple headed. Is this to do with the reliability aspect or the case that many of the horses may have escaped from their engines over the years?

These are Rail Head Treatment Trains, they spray high pressure water onto the rails to stop autumnal leaves causing delays. Lots of these trains have Class 37s working each end.

At First: Great video, good footage. 👍 Second: What is happend in the UK? Cause at least 85% of the footage shows intermodal-unittrains, hauled by Class 66s. Is there no more mixed freight traffic?

@briangriffiths1285 3 ай бұрын

Very little or no mixed freight these days. Most trains are scheduled services from docks to inland distribution points, quarries to building distribution points, waste/trash collection to incineration plants and the famous Tesco trains from their central warehouse near Northampton up to Scotland to fill the shelves of their big supermarket chain. I suppose intermodal trains are the mixed freight of today carrying stuff in boxes. The car trains from the mini factory in Oxford go straight onto the docks in Southampton where teams of drivers run them into car carriers as though it were the Le Mans 24 hour race!
