Mayner Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Came across this a week filming trains last year during the winter school holidays. Mostly filmed day and night on the outskirts of Christchurch Days and on the Midland coal line classic GM & GE power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayner Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Great video John. Beautiful landscape. What type of ore is carried in the hopper wagons? Coaking coal not in great demand at the moment with China cutting back on steel production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshty Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 "A week chasing trains during the school holidays. " And here's me thinking I was going to be treated to some '60's-'70s Super 8 footage! Nice shots by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice shots by the way. No such luck the closest I got to a railway line in the 60s & 70s was sneaking away to take a photo of 5C in Ennis while my parents were shopping in Ennis while on holidays in West Clare in 73 Film was rationed for family photos strictly no trains. The father was a fisherman and eventually got to understand about 15 years later that we had a lot in common after a fruitless search for the Ammonia and Fertiliser trains on the South Eastern, though we did manage to bag the afternoon down passenger in Rathdrum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
