Steam Trains At Speed On The Mainline - Volume 2

Sit back and enjoy another steam at speed compilation, looking mainly at the last 12 months of mainline action. 5 locomotives are seen this time, operating up to the maximum allowed for steam '75mph'.

Foot note:
Diesel locomotives "Tail Gunner"
The use of Diesel locomotives on some tours is because of operational reasons. Some of the tours run to destinations with no turning facilities, so the diesel hauls the train to a location where the steam loco can take over again. They are also used for train heating, assistance on steep gradients(especially during leaf fall season)and are a great help if any problems arise with the steam loco.
Most Diesels used are interesting machines in their own right too, with most of then now over 50 years old, some even 60 years old now.

as fascinating as Shinkansen at speed - but with all that moving parts, this steam lokomotives are a mechanical wonder -
and still going strong after all this years

Great stuff. Clan Line definitely looks quicker than 75mph at 6:27!

Holy shit... big thumbs up for that! Never visited England for such things, but your video shows, that I might need to think about that! Greetings from germany!

There was a wood plank bridge over a main line on a footpath behind factories near Old Oak sheds in London that I crossed in 1955-61 and if a train was coming I'd wait there to get covered in steam & smoke.

Is it me, or do all Bullied pacific drivers like to open the taps?

To think, Braunton spent 25+years rotting away in Barry Scrapyard. Look at her now. Wonderful sight....

Wow the speed of the train is amazing & greetings from Indonesia Railways 🇲🇨👍😁

5:25 at Huntspill would’ve pleased Rev. W. Awdry! WOW that’s a view!!! 😲

70022 Tornado @ 1.12? I bet that confused people? Maybe they were expecting the other ‘Tornado’!

Actually, I would realize that Australian Steam locomotives are just almost the same with almost same speed but just faster for a little bit.

How did I see this video on Facebook BEFORE i saw it here?

[mikebutler]

Wonderful, Clan Line and Co. at high speed ! Thanks.

[thebrummierailenthusiasts]

0:23 clan line is really shifting abit

[ramo]

super really !! on the other hand, does the diesel push or is it in tow ?

[lucluwel]

Why is there always a diesel locomotive at the back?

[marcdelente]

Qui a t il de plus beau qu' un train tracter par une locomotive a vapeur et quelque soit le pays toujours un train tracter par une locomotive a vapeur.
Pour moi la reine des machines est la pacific 231 k

[MENSA.lady]

Shame about the diesel at the back pushing.

[chandrarajan]

All of them are faster than most of the Indian electric trains 😀

[Shark]

Why are there diesels pushing behind the coaches?

Steam Engine speed is super and proved as Old Gold, but heavy atmosphere pollution dueto heavy Smoke. It is our brilliant USA scientists first innovation on the trial of to move even heavy vehicles like Locomotives too just with steam controld moving wheels under a pressure of the steam is really awesome.. Hats off to the scientists who innovated like Mr. Jameswhat and developed in different stages to arrive in this stage is successful of their dreams like this...RBS
