It was repainted many times which extended its life, the new bridge is designed to lay less time but requires no painting, shorter life for low maintenance
Hats off to the crew at Story! I never stepped foot in England but I bet the workers are treated better then American trade workers. I am a HUGE fan of light rail and trains. !
Excellent, but if I'd been in charge of this reconstruction I'd have taken the opportunity to eliminate that short section of single track just east of the bridge. A scissors crossing about half a mile outside York station would allow far more flexibility. A train could enter York from Scarborough at the same time another one is departing for Scarborough.
Actually yes, and it would not be the first time the Political nose was thrust into sensible public works projects. It was probably presumptuous or my part to criticize without more information but there has been clear examples of this behavior where I live. Your point is taken.
because of the junction design - to add double track would require 2 additional sets of points, resignalling and would require more maintenance - there would be little to no benefits since the volume of traffic is extremely low and basically a complete waste of money.
@Giuseppe Battagliese You're wrong - I drive trains here at York and you don't understand the track layout, trust me there is no benefit despite what it may look like. We will be doubling trains over this route in December this year and there won't be any issues caused by this junction whatsoever. I completely agree that there are many bottlenecks, particularly at York but this is not one of them - if they were going to spend money on York I'd say an additional track out the north end would make a huge difference, up to skelton jn, and realign the slow over skelton bridge so that speeds could be raised to 60-70mph.
I don't think any state DoT takes on the task of bridge replacement. I don't know of any states that have the equipment or specialized personnel to do that. Are you sure it wasn't contracted out?
to me .... this is a story about an amazing crane ...which could not exist without a smaller brother ....there is a kids book in this video....ps my idea so call me if you want to write it
Just wondering why they hauled the bridge sections and the crawler through the streets when the could have just railed it in? It's your rail line so you can put it in a yard and move it in and out when you want without permits or the possibility of damaging historic buildings. It'd be quieter for the residents too.
@@Miko_Jones Source? The railway embankment was steepened to accommodate the crane pad but no houses were affected. The Abbey guest house is the end terrace and it's still standing.
cos the older one was lattice style which is lighter as its made out of crisscrossing bars where the new ones one straight plate girder with no holes in it & its thicker steel plates where the lattice it layered plates & bars to build up its strength
Not a Black face anywhere on this site..... MMmmm... No wonder it went smoothly! Here in South Africa, all the rail sections would have been Stolen, the staff would continuously be on Strike and funds for their salaries would not be available halfway coz the directors embezzled all of it to buy themselves Ferraris and 6 million Pound houses for their 3 wives!
Amazing video, here in Edmonton AB we are still building a bridge that started 3 yrs ago!
Bob Parsons band of brothers theme
@Bill Williams I'm an Edmontonian as well, and am just curious which bridge you spoke of previously
Bridge work is awesome ! I recommend doing this type of work- at least for one season...
Yes
The old bridge did really well to last 140 years. Even today, infrastructure is usually designed to only last 100 years.
Right sir
It was repainted many times which extended its life, the new bridge is designed to lay less time but requires no painting, shorter life for low maintenance
They had it all in one sock on this one, Great video. thanks.
Great

Excellent job....awesome..
excellently done

What is the purpose of that section? Is it to prevent more than one train on the bridge at once?
At 5:46 it has company name on crane. Company is out of UK NOT Scarborough Maine
I agree, why leave something that silly after spending the money?
Do you really think that the project team, sponsors and designers didn't check that they were doing what was right and best value for taxpayers money?
Actually yes, and it would not be the first time the Political nose was thrust into sensible public works projects. It was probably presumptuous or my part to criticize without more information but there has been clear examples of this behavior where I live. Your point is taken.
It's the song of "Airport Madness"
Just to clear up the confusion....it’s Scarborough bridge in the city of York, England.
I thought that the cathedral looked familiar....
Thanks
The still photos are a highlight, which is saying something.
Interesting. When you see this it makes me wonder how network rail manage to mess up the really easy stuff so badly?
Great job
Great
Why did they leave 100 metres of single track just behind the bridge?
because of the junction design - to add double track would require 2 additional sets of points, resignalling and would require more maintenance - there would be little to no benefits since the volume of traffic is extremely low and basically a complete waste of money.
Phantomthecat future expansion.
There is a speed reduction because of that interchange. It would be worth it in the long run.
@@samfrancisco8095 the speed restriction is due to the curve of platform 4/approach to 5 - there would literally be no benefit at all
@Giuseppe Battagliese You're wrong - I drive trains here at York and you don't understand the track layout, trust me there is no benefit despite what it may look like. We will be doubling trains over this route in December this year and there won't be any issues caused by this junction whatsoever.

Very good 👍👍👍
Network Rail did something right for a change. A pity we're still waiting for our promised upgrades, which should have been completed five years ago.
Watch video solutions of engineering questions to expertise your knowledge!
state of Missouri took over 2months to rebuild our bridge

Hey, hello Who can tell me something about the music in the video? Title and interpret?
Bloody awful repetitive boring computer music.

Scarborough, Ontario? So they replaced the railway bridge on Eglinton Ave E between Brimley and Markham? Neat!
I know! I was kidding! ;-)
Nah they would never help Scarborough here.. we're not good enough for that kind of workmanship and efficiency lol
Great viewing
Nice
So now 5 Years old it is still an amazing video. But i'm wondering too that they don't replace the old piers.
Truely wonderful dear
They are stone and didn't need replacing
Give it time and the Buddliea will set in like everywhere else on the UK rail network.
I wish my buddliea would do as well here in California!

Height and weight restrictions!
The bridge exceeds the loading gauge of uk tracks
We have a "Story" company here in Tulsa, OK. wonder if they are related. hmmm
nice story
The occupants of the houses just in front of the big crane must have been REALLY disappointed when it was all finished!
Not nearly as much as the owners of the 3 houses demolished to make way for the pad for the giant crane were.
@@Miko_Jones Source? The railway embankment was steepened to accommodate the crane pad but no houses were affected. The Abbey guest house is the end terrace and it's still standing.
Great job, but I can't help thinking how little more it would have cost to have them add a pedestrian lane to the bridge.
The pedestrian bridge is on the right, just out of sight
COOL
If the bridge is 140 yrs. old, then so to are the piers. They must be sound, yet no mention of them.
No, the piers are significantly older. The bridge they are removing is not the original span.
The piers are stone and didn't need replacing
what went wrong if it came in budget
good video
It is
This is in Manchester?
York
So, a new bridge is 44 tons heavier at least... Whata PROGRESS!!!
And good for another 150 years...
For 50
WTF do you know about building railway bridges?
cos the older one was lattice style which is lighter as its made out of crisscrossing bars where the new ones one straight plate girder with no holes in it & its thicker steel plates where the lattice it layered plates & bars to build up its strength
large steel members require far less maintenance than lattice construction. it's cheaper to maintain.
Is this how one can get to the Faire ?
Been there. It ain't much, just a bunch of pikeys over charging you for some dangerous looking fairground rides.
Not Scarborough Ontario Scarborough England
Exactly. The original. Not the copy.
Well York actually. It's just called the Scarborough bridge because it is on the section of line that goes to Scarborough, Yorkshire.
suostei tae anak so k sabbay te
next time bring a bridge large enough to lift the bridge out of position and ferry it away :0 ahhaha
