J'aimerais un jour. Voir une locomotive BERLIET !

I do like a frisky afternoon!

Oh, I'd love to travel around in an old steam train...

Hardly struggling just a gentle and smooth takeoff

Best train in forest 🎉

That’s one of the cleanest, prettiest and aesthetically pleasing cargo trains I’ve ever seen.

Nice video. Just noticed the ornate artwork in the roof of the Station. Top RHS of shot 0:00 Awesome.

Brake release a bit slow but ok, taking the strain carefully , not a heavy load for a 60. I have been on them hauling 3000 tonnes and a 59 hauling 4000 stone trains in the Mendips Worked on them from new at Canton. Sepex motors and good traction control. Let down by the power unit faults and niggly faults like primary fuel filters and brake sensors and governor

These would be empties for Tyne Dock

These pass Nottingham pulling oil tanks occasionally, 3000 tons is not a problem for a single class 60, 300 is nothing

300 tons ! Doh There is a lot lot more than 300 tons here.

Almost an Empty Jumbo Jet.

LOL at 300 tonnes 😂😂

Come on the only thing you got right was the filming name wrong. Train weight way wrong. And the loco was in no way struggling to get the load moving.

And I always thought Tones were something to do with sound, and didn't weigh anything!

The GBRF blue looks smashing on the 60

A good driver would know not to apply too much throttle at the risk of breaking a coupling

Fort those in the know about these things, why do freight locomotives leave their engines running when standing in a freight yard ? I used to watch the Freightliner Class 66's at Ipswich depot, and they would stand running for ages without a driver in the cab. Thank you.

A consist not spoiled by graffiti…..presumably - as yet.

Perhaps also the wagons were empty, going North away from Drax.

И чо, прирдурок?

Hardly struggling. Clickbait title.

Ohhh armchair drivers...its not simworld 3😮...train driven correctly....judging by location of departure a crew change had just taken place! Driver settling in to cab...releasing train brakes via the ATP after the driver who brought the train in would of made a holding brake application to secure the train for handover...stop with the click bait titles...keep vids coming.... Comment added from armchair! as retired driver passed to drive, instruct and assess drivers on class 60 locos😊

So aside from the fact that he got the name wrong (it’s Helvellyn) he got the weight wrong, and it didn’t struggle, this was actually a great shot of that 60. Good job man

Good old sand box !!

He was just pulling away slowly because he knew he was running on restricted signals,a passenger had just left.

How many tonnes is that locomotive,🙏😉

300 tones? Metric? Lol, back to the drawing board. 2k tones at least. Struggling? Get out of here.

Must be The Advertising "logo loco" as theyre never that clean, polished and clear from graffiti when they go past my garden every day which is a shame

Helvellyn??

No sign of kestrel again oh well

Definitely NOT struggling at all. That loco is one of the strongest we have Just sensible driving & application of power. Quality driver of the highest order! JG.

The usual - these days - 'technique' of pulling against the brakes. Modern training has folks feared of blowing the brakes fully off before taking power. Necessary with a 66 that won't hold much on the straight air, but a 60 will hold at least 2800 tons on a 1- in - 90 . The 'official' method whern the 33056 came out for 60's , was to get the airflow down , preferably zero , then full power , letting the slip and autosands deal with it. That, for my mind took some of the pleasure of driving out of your hands , so I just drove 'em like owt else; respectfully and thoughtfully, and thrashed 'em when needed ! There was an 'urgency' in the way a 60 got into a heavy load , more than any other loco , and you could feel that high tractive effort in yer bones. Also , it's pretty flat there in York , so full brake release would present no issues. Pulling against a slow releasing brake? never, wherever possible ! The n60's are supremely competent. I drove 'em from '89 to '17 . Only ever failed once with 'em .

That was no struggle. Pulled off in 2nd! 😂

Not struggling at all. Made to pull a house down with the hi tech employed in them. Does the job perfectly well.

60s, for all they’re temperamental beasts can pull just about anything they want if they feel like it. That wasn’t struggling. Trust me! They can pull a couple of thousand tonnes of biomass up the very steep Bootle branch line from the docks in Liverpool. I speak from experience.

Nicest and cleanest trucks I've ever seen.😮

At least he got 60026 and York right.

Struggling ? It’s obviously not going to 0-60mph in 4 seconds with all that weight is it ?

300 Tonnes shouldn't be very difficult for a loco like this !! Or do you mean 3000 tonnes ? Perhaps the rails were a bit greasy and needed sanding ? I expect the curve of the track didn't help either !

Well that was click bait! Lol

Click bait title, and the required reaction was clearly achieved. It's a shame so many British locomotives are so unjustly maligned until they're taken out of service, then there's outrage and all of a sudden their praises can't be sung highly enough; what a bizarrely pathetic little country this is!

He just doesn’t want to fill the station with smoke that’s all

A 9 F steam engine could handle this !

Nearer 3000 than 300 tonnes - that is not even the weight of a passenger train.

North out of York around the curve has always been a tough test needing sensible driving. Also as well as the tonnage error the caption also has the wrong name. Quite clearly readable as Helvellyn named after the fell/mountain.

They never struggle😂

300 tonnes 😂
