Please do not publicly say the name of this location or in fact other explorers please do not visit. A little back story, I walked through a closed carpark, through an open gate, down a path and again through another wide open gate. I did not see one do not enter or no trespassing signs (even know I know my civil trespass rights) but I would like to just point this out to keyboard warriors. I come across dog walkers on this route, so it’s definitely not just me who goes here. I’m respectful (even know many don’t understand urban explorers and why we love doing what we do) for me it’s documenting a building or in this case a train at that moment in time. I have not shared or mentioned where this location is (to protect it) I also kept myself way away from any active lines, keeping myself to the side or walking down the middle as you can see where rolling stock is cannot move as they are against the buffers. Prior to coming here I also walked near the station, so I knew exactly how far away I was from any “active” parts. You’ll also see my point at the only sign regarding railway, so I stayed away from it and walked in the opposite direction, checking behind me at multiple times. I know I don’t have to explain myself, but I would like to and again if you know where this is please don’t visit and don’t post the name of it either. No disrespect to the volunteers of this preserved line and apologies for thinking it was abandoned.
Weld??? Dream on brother. This is a Tamping Machine that lifts the track and packs the ballast underneath the sleepers, no more no less. It has nothing to do with the rails other than levelling the ballast beneath the supporting sleepers.
No sure if you're interested in buses as well, but the bus scrap yards at Barnsley are interesting, particularly that of Geoff Ripley, as he's got loads of old stuff, out the back of his yard. It's like a time warp, with older vehicles that have got trees, and bushes groing through some of them.
@ExploringWithBoss I got permission to go in there. I got permission to go in to three of the bus scrap yards up there. One of them didn't allow videoing, or photographing, due to the fact some so called enthusiasts had gone in there, taken registration plates off buses, and put them on their cars. Geoff Ripley will let you in, but you'll have to wear a hard hat, and safety shoes.
Great video,but as someone who volunteers at a heritage railway where within a week of one TH-cam video titled abandoned railway yard, we had £750,000 of damage done. That's my only annoyance with these abandoned railway videos. The conciquences afterwards. The hours that went into the restoration is in recoverable. Items of stock like this in storage are in a rotation of restoration and priority is the running stock while a pensioner or two once a week or once a fortnight try to repair and restore another item to return to use. Technically in this video it's also trespass and liable for enforceable finest under railway laws.
I appreciate the comment and know exactly where you are coming from, that’s why as an urban explorer of over fifteen years I never share a location where I am or publicly say where something is just to protect them. Sadly the people that vandalise or are there for the wrong reasons give us all a bad name, especially when I’m nothing but respectful and wouldn’t even drop a piece of little whilst taking photographs. I know civil trespass (which is what I’ve done) as the gates are wide open and I walked along a trial holds no prosecution, but that’s also why I kept away from any active rails or further up away from the main areas (not trying to sound disrespectful either) I’m not that type of person. Also if there was ever an opportunity to visit a heritage railway under a permission visit I would absolutely love to do it, genuine railway / train enthusiast. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment
@ExploringWithBoss thanks for the reply.. wasn't meaning any disrespect towards you. Just feel strongly about things having been one of those who lost their work on a railway item vandalized after a video. I'm sure any heritage railway if approached would agree to visits as they often do. But one or two of the bigger ones may say no as they have their own TH-cam channels. the railway I volunteer at has started a TH-cam channel but they don't quite understand TH-cam and what would work for them so I'm working with them to expand the usage of TH-cam as a viable tool to promote the railway and earn an additional income to pay for restorations. I can have a word and see what permissions they will give and any restrictions they would put on( as in gdrp and not for public knowledge work) . Feel free to email me. My email on my channel "about me" section
@ thank you, I really appreciate that and also happy to offer any advice regarding TH-cam and what I know I like to see / watch. Will send you an email over the weekend, thank you 🙏🏽
I'd be interested to know how you gained access to this area as it's gated and locked. I volunteer at the Churnet Valley Railway and this area is owned by the railway, therefore you're trespassing. The yard is far from abandoned and you were trespassing on an active running line. Many other volunteers have been made aware of this video. Try getting some more information on these places before you go walking around them as if it's nothing. When you heard the train horn, that loco could've easily come down to where you were.
@SouthernSpotting34050 I’m not looking for an argument, but what I will say not once did I name the location or show what part of the country the location is (but it would appear you have in your initial post) Secondly I walked in through a wide open space (no fence, no gate) and as you can see from the video the gate at the path was also wide open. There was not one no trespassing or keep out sign, I’m respectful and I’ve done this for a very long time (over 15 years). I have my whits about me and constantly aware of my situation, hence not walking at all on the “active line” or going near it. I do know my civil trespass rules from exploring all over the world. I took some photos, filmed a video and left without any trace (back out through the open gates) The local farmer told me this part of the site was derelict and I even met a few dog walkers whilst I was there, so it would appear this is a local route for many people. As I said not looking for an argument or being disrespectful to you or any of the other volunteers, in fact I commend what you do. Thank you
@@ExploringWithBoss I'm also not looking for an argument however I'd like to try and make you realise the situation you're in. Regardless of how long you've done this for, perhaps you should've done some more research into the area before just walking in because someone told you to. The active line very obviously extends down to where you were from the station which is visible from where you were. I'm aware that you didn't name the area however I know where it is so I've mentioned it. It might've been sensible to at least try and contact the railway in regards to the status of that area i.e. "abandoned" or still an active line. I'm surprised the horn didn't alert you a bit more than it did. I don't want to make an argument here however I don't think just walking in there because someone said you could was a very good idea. The only way to access that area is through a gate by the road, so even if it was open, it's rather obvious that it's part of the railway and therefore maybe you should try and seek more information before just wandering in. The main point I'm trying to make is that the active running line that can be accessed by trains extends right down to the fence at the end of where you were walking so in theory you were trespassing.
@SouthernSpotting34050 I understand your point, but I will agree to disagree on a number of things. I didn’t just walking in there because someone told me to, I had a pin for abandoned trains and the farmer confirmed exactly where I should go. I also don’t think naming the location was a wise thing to do… I’m a respectful explorer that purposely goes of my way to not publicly share where locations are. Now some explorers are not so respectful and that’s all they will have to do is read your comment where you’ve publicly said where it is and boom, next thing they are there exploring it. See my point? Maybe edit that part out for the railway as I don’t want to delete your comment. As to trespass, it’s a civil matter especially with no keep out signs and wide open gates. To me the tracks had been removed further down, adding to believing it was derelict. I also didn’t get spooked by a train horn as I know I was a fair distance from where that was, I did actually visit the station before walking down the old path. Just a guy that’s into trains making a video not trying to be argumentative and disrespectful. In fact a few preservation lines around the UK have reached out to commend me on how respectful I was and invited for permission tours, so some good she come from it. Anyway, take care and keep up the good work with the preservation side of things.
@@ExploringWithBoss You haven't really discouraged people from visiting the railway though, infact I would argue you have only encouraged them saying multiple times how fantastic of a location it was I understand you didn't mention the place, but people can figure this stuff out (whether it is locals etc) and this just encourages people to trespass onto the railway. as they have said it is an active line connected to a station with a train on it, if true you put yourself in extreme risk and could have easily been injured or worse doing this in future please get permission from the railway as stock movements can be random and unpredictable and next time you see an open gate it doesn't mean you can enter it. I would suggest you edit your video to make it clear this is very dangerous some one with less sense than you could watch it and think all train yards are safe and get them selves hurt

Far too many keyboard warriors Matey!! Ignore them!! I know I for one appreciate all that you do for us.
2:30 is a track tamper. it tamps the track to weld the tracks into place and make the rails smoother
Thank you, I appreciate that 🙏🏽

@ thank you 🙏🏽
it doesn't weld track nor make track smoother it lifts the track and packs ballast underneath sleepers
Wow 😮 so sad to see them old engines & carrages lovely to see them bring some memories back for me ❤
Very cool location

First machine is a tamper, designed to level and straighten the track
Thank you 🙏🏽
PPM is planned maintenance. The first coach was a MK1, the second was a MK1.
Thank you for the information, much appreciated 🙏🏽
An awesome location and a great video so thanks Boss 😊
Thank you as always John 🙏🏽
Its a Plassermatic used for levelling the tracks.
Thank you for the information, really appreciate it
Nice vid.
Thanks James 🙏🏽
Do you know any were like that in Lecter?
I'm a huge fan of trains
Also a huge fan of trains, I have been given some more and invited to some, so will report back 🙏🏽
@ExploringWithBoss Thanks 😊
the boilers look to be off maybe a West Country or Merchant Navy class pacifics Ex Barry maybe
Thank you Bryan 🙏🏽
They made me think of Barry when exploring the site, a location I would have loved to have visited over the years.
You have the best explores
Thank you Lisa 🙏🏽 Feels good to be back out exploring further afield like the old days. Some special stuff incoming for 2025

I don’t know is my honest answer, I would say they are probably going to be removed at some point hopefully 🤞🏼
Hope to see you at Sandown fair next year bud👍
