- A ride on the footplate of S160 2-8-0, 5820 'Big Jim', from Keighley to Oakworth, 14th March 2016. With much thanks to all of the staff involved at the KWVR for a very enjoyable day.
This is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for the view from the engine!
It's a nice video presentation with a good run of the STEEM LOCOMOTIVE. AWASOME TO LOOKS.
The Railway Children 1968 & 1970.
I am amazed that when in the UK during WW2 that the American whistles were not removed. The A4 s had their whistles removed because there was a fear people would confuse them with air raid sirens. I know the S160s were passing through Britain to move to Europe after D-Day.
I read that the British loco crews loved these Chime whistles, constantly pulling on them, because they'd heard them
in the Western movies of the day !
They probably were playing out their fantasy that they were outrunning some outlaws and blasting out those 5-chimers to tell the sheriff's posse that they're coming in, with bad guys on their tails!
Big Jim is definitely the boss on this line
Aye! Aye!
Lovely ❤❤❤❤
Tear-Jerking Technology! True representation of Human Effort.
Thank you, they are living things for sure.
I remember geting this locomotive in this game called streamlined on roblox
25mph...at least.
That's some big chunks of coal!
A typical rugged and reliable US loco - and with a proper whistle too! Great video.
Cracking locomotives...despite their austere appearance -it was cathartic when the day came I started to like it! -if only we had a line that could handle UP's spare FEF-3 ! -and OH that WHISTLE !!!
she spare FEF is a parts loco, inthe words of the railway it's slowly being scrapped, everytime they cannibalize it.
Great footage. That engine made that initial climb away from the station with a lot more ease than any of the British engines I have seen there!
That's because this train was a charter special and only had three carriages. The usual length is five or six.
Superb foot plate shots. What a great ride. Well captured Regards C&A
Brilliant video!
A loco I have seen but never running. 😀😀😀
Great footplate footage! She sounds great, lots of power! Different sound to the english loco's
Great video! Even though these aren't the best looking trains they sure do sounds nice.
That whistle is amazing
Classic American 5-chime whistle.
Imagine this loco in war time it charging down the tracks passed battlefields being shot at by ju 87 dive bombers as it try’s to get supplies to the allied soldiers
phwoarrr - this looks fantastic.
2:34 best sound ever
Great ride....I bet you enjoyed that...Steve.-:)
A privilege indeed David to get on the footplate, great footage, although some distortion to the image at times...Regards...Bob
very nice video
Imagine this locomotive on the mainline would be fantastic but of course it would never happen
Listen to the bark
Terrific ride! Pretty good power to weight ratio with three coaches. Was that a special charter or a normal service? It didn't stop at Ingrow, and the gates were closed at Oakworth as you approached, which is unusual.
the old hull to honsea line when it gone
Is the screw wheel reverse mech original equipment or an upgrade that was made at some point? Any clues? Man that engine has a good bark to it.
That's standard American practice and it works well. Why the UK reverser designs were all over the place I can't figure out!
@@cliffleigh7450 different operators and designers had different ideas
Super....Germany!
This locomotive is American not German.
