It's a good thing the world has people like you Trevor to get out there and record what at the time is just ordinary everyday stuff but which now, years later is pure magical memories. This is another of your best videos. Thank you. David.

Wonderful! Brings back happy days. Thank you for posting!

Couldn't agree more. True locos in a great time to watch trains. Those days may be gone but your videos are a great reminder of what joy railways once brought to so many.

really good video quality for 86/87!

For those who don't know: the green containers on the train hauled by 37097 contained potash bound to ICI Severnside, Bristol, for the manufacture of fertilizer. These wagons started their journey at Boulby potash mine, just outside if Staithes. This service started IIRC in May 1984, but I can't remember when in last ran. The closed containers are required because potash will absorb water and become a sticky mess that is hard to shift. Other destinations for the products of Boulby include Selby and East Anglia, but these tended to be in smaller amounts for use in the sugar industry. In such cases the containers would contain sylvanite, a mixture of potash and rock salt.

Superb video from York Trevor, always a great pleasure to view your archive material. Cheers, Jeff.

These videos sure do take me back, great times Trevor and far better locos, excellent viewing as ever, all the best.

An amazing set of diesel loco clips Trevor and so interesting to look back on that super period. Great video. Cheers - Allan.

Thank you. What fantastic sights and sounds. Each loco bringing back memories of so many happy days "watching the trains go by". What a different world we live in now.

Great video from the past! I really enjoyed it.

I can't believe this footage will be nearly 40 years old give it 5 years more, I love the sounds and looks of these trains

Hugely enjoyable. It is a great thing that folk like you, Trevor, have kept such excellent records of bygone eras. Thank you for sharing. Cheers, Bob

Has to be said, you post some fantastic videos, Huge thanks for sharing!!

Those were the days, Trevor. Thanks for that lot!

Great video Trevor. This video looks good back in the 80s, lots of Diesels back then, especially that steam locomotive too you know. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers ta ... Josh

Fantastic video footage Trevor especially seeing the diesel locomotives

Fabulous video Trevor , an era that I missed out on ........Peter

Some nice captures there Trevor , bet you are well pleased you saved these , some of the best and some still running ...

BRILLANT great to see it again Trevor. Cheers Mike.

Magic memories mate. Treasure for ever

Great stuff gone back in time.

some brilliant thrash from 47145 on the MGR. Very lucky parallel run with the 37 and the Peak. They were both just going slowly enough.

Fantastic! Thank you Trevor, the signalman at 0:48 looks like Dick Dring from York Yard North Box under the bridge there...I wonder. A lovely way to spend 20 mins immersed in lovely memories!!

Great video and lots of memory's train spotting here in the late 70s when the deltics were still kings of the East coast

Trevor.... Super stuff mate, worked a lot on some of the loco's on film, brought some memories back. OK some were slow and not pretty but they really did work em hard in my day. Have subscribed Cheers IAN

Can’t beat the good old days. Smashing

good video Trevor, these locos on top of my real train list and Steam trains, modern trains look more like glorified motor coaches, lol maybe i am just old fashioned!

Definitely Trevor,an age of Diesel heaven. The 47 on the merry go round train sounded mint and the 45 accelerating as it came out the station... sulzers ruled ! Andy

Duff's class 47'sand goyles class 31's happy days as i miss them days of seeing these locos at various tmd's all over the UK In the early to late 1980s best times ever as todays railways are poop! Great video!!!

Great video, couldn't agree with you more Trevor! Michael

Very nice shots Trevor;) Like

Great to see this Trevor.....Steve.

Awesome time machine please 😀

used to park there, great vantage point

York before electrification, glory days

Great video Trevor. everything looks so different to the York I know. I was only one when you filmed this. They must have altered the bridge at some point maybe when the wires went up?

Happy days they were.😀

True! The good old days

Great days those Trevor👍

Proper locos!

For some reason Class 31's have always seemed to attract derision. I'm not sure why, they were versatile locos and worked in multiple quite happily. Then again, I like the look of 37's but many people consider them to be absolute monstrosities.

HST appearing at 7:04 :( Nice to see a couple of DMU's though

My lords

Proper trains 👍

Cracking video Trevor great to see some proper trains and not those horrible pacers

..Hell yeh man...those were the proper ones.(the original ones )..far far better than all this modern stuff of nowadays..which look absolutely awefull...to say the least..!!!.

Sadly all gone now.

Nothing comes close to a good Sulzer nowadays except maybe a class 68!

That IS locos.. they looked very close to hitting that bridge when they went under - not a lot of clearance

The best locos by a country mile are 37s
