The magic of steam at speed! Aren't we lucky to be able to witnes such sights so long after the dreadful cull? Thanks for sharing David. Take care - Chris
Many thanks Chris, we certainly are and there’s nothing quite like seeing a steam train at speed. Hopefully we can enjoy more of it next year! Thanks, David.
You're continuing to excell Linesider, wonderful theatre. Memories as a sprog watching these wonderdul machines charging through Warrinton Bank Quay station at close quarters. Heaven.
Many thanks Alan, much appreciated. All fairly recent yet it feels a long time ago in many respects with the year being how it's been, and the Fellsman now starting at Crewe.
Superb compilation David. Great stretch of track there for capturing steam tours at speed. A fantastic sight. Enjoyable watching through out. Kind regards C&A
Thanks very much C&A, I remember crossing the line as a child when there were foot crossings and being amazed at how straight it was for such a long way. Brilliant that steam came back in 1995, a slice of the past.
It was great when the car dealership didn't exist and the old lane leading to the crossing could be parked on. Must have been a brilliant spot in steam days, can't be too many who remember the old station (closed in 1939) very well now sadly.
THAT 8F IS MOVING! DAMN THEY ARE QUICK THATS ATLEAST 60MPH AND YOU CAN SEE SHE AINT DONE YET 🇬🇧💪😎 she probably tops out at 75mph but then thats her absolute maximum probably
Used to stand there watching the trains from 'London,' heading to 'Scotland,' Which leads me to my question: You show trains as e.g., Carlisle to Carnforth; but both are north of Brock, and Carnforth is closest. Could you clarify for me.

Very many thanks Rob, much appreciated. You must have some wonderful memories from Warrington Bank Quay, the finest spectacle going!
Brilliant, both camera and train crews! I watched the opening clip several times to verify they were accelerating in the high 50's with sand on...
thanks very much for taking the time to comment, Robin and your kind words, much appreciated.
Excellent compilation. You can't beat the spectacle of steam loco's at speed.
Many thanks Christopher. You certainly can’t, always great to see them really travelling.
I have watched this 5 times today and I will not stop until I have watched it 5 more.
Train going fast = happiness
Haha thanks Thomas, please feel free to watch it 5 more times after that!
A much-enjoyed compilation of stunning performances, David. It's easy to see why you like this location! Happy Christmas, Bob
Many thanks Bob, much appreciated. Happy new year and all the best!
Fantastic - again!

Many thanks Noel, much appreciated and glad you enjoyed it.
Much steam to see, appreciate to watch! Best Regards Railherbie from Germany
Many thanks Railherbie, much appreciated and glad you enjoyed it.
An enviable collection, David. Thanks for that!

A beautifully presented video, from a local place to me. Lovely camerawork, incredible trains.
Many thanks Charlie, much appreciated. Can’t beat a bit of gricing at Brock!
Another fine compilation David, very enjoyable to watch
Many thanks Austin, much appreciated. Those long summer evenings seem a long time ago..!

Old is gold
Certainly is in many ways!
@@Linesider1 yeah.
Great video! The performances of the Black Fives were remarkable with long trains up to 13 coaches that I counted.
Many thanks Peter, glad you enjoyed it - hard to beat a black five! 45231 worked this stretch in steam days, amazing that it still does.
Very good video
Thanks very much
Hi very good camera work cracking video well done
Thanks 👍
Stunning perfection and presentation:-) x
Many thanks Lynn, much appreciated.
0:33 rewind to 2013 and there was brock crossing
It was great when the car dealership didn't exist and the old lane leading to the crossing could be parked on. Must have been a brilliant spot in steam days, can't be too many who remember the old station (closed in 1939) very well now sadly.
@@Linesider1 yeah
Also astonished at the speed of the LMS 8F!
This is where brock crossing used to be on this stretch here 0:26 along with the station
That's right Scott, used to get a buzz seeing modern traction fly through there!
@@Linesider1 yeah David
3:25 look how the farm animals are running away after the train whizzed past it
0:50 and nowadays the level crossing here at brock is long gone
Gone forever. They will probably decide that the pallisade fencing isn't sufficient in future and that the whole railway needs to go in a tube...!
@@Linesider1 yeah
Treat to watch ❤️
Sudipta sarkar Many thanks Sudipta, glad you enjoyed it!
THAT 8F IS MOVING! DAMN THEY ARE QUICK THATS ATLEAST 60MPH AND YOU CAN SEE SHE AINT DONE YET 🇬🇧💪😎 she probably tops out at 75mph but then thats her absolute maximum probably
Bet it was a bit lively on the footplate
@@kenmcdowell5325 yep 🤣 great performance and fast as fck that 8f 👌
Wasn't there a set of water troughs near there, back in the days of steam.
Yes that's right, oh for a time machine :)
Magnificent. It is a shame though, that they have to hold back to 75mph.

Awesome
Many thanks Charlie, glad you enjoyed it.
Used to stand there watching the trains from 'London,' heading to 'Scotland,' Which leads me to my question: You show trains as e.g., Carlisle to Carnforth; but both are north of Brock, and Carnforth is closest. Could you clarify for me.
Some itineraries, e.g the former Fellsman tours, travelled south from Carlisle to Hellifield and Blackburn before returning north to Carnforth.
@@Linesider1 Thanks for clarifying that.
Couldn’t put it more right on the racing stretch title all storming!
Many thanks, certainly a great place to see them up their maximum permitted speeds!
The dislike is from diesel, his still mad about the time gordon wants him to move out from his way
