I’m a bit of a steam video junky. This is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Thank you.

I remember watching the steam trains from Chapel Terrace in Tebay.when visiting my grandmother. This was the late 1950s when the engines were maintained in the sheds below. There was something magical about the steam era and it is a great privilage to have been part of it.Thank you for posting.

Wonderfully edited! The wind aided the effects of smoke and steam. For me, a great time to be eighteen. Must go through my neglected slides from that time.

Fantastic, more please! A time when the railways were at their most interesting, mixture of stem and diesel and the infrastructure not obliterated by the impending cuts. Used that line a few times on the forties when driver training from 55H. Love films from 51A being a Darlington man myself. That winter of 1962/63 was terrible, the Up Thames/Clyde was blocked by snow drifts exiting Dent head tunnel in 63.

This line in steam days was something of a holy grail for railway enthusiasts. I travelled over it northwards in 1961 behind a”Jubilee “& in 1962 behind a”Royal Scot” & southwards in 1966 behind a “Britannia”,also returned in 1967 to Ribblehead to do photography. Great days! Nice film ,brings back good memories.

Amazing footage again 🤩👍. At least it is to me. I lived in Carlisle for 9 years from 2001 and used to photograph all the steam excursions coming through the station and I regularly travelled the Settle-Carlisle line but to see it around the time I was born is just priceless 👏

Brilliant! A great record of steam on the line. So many of those beautiful engines look in dire need of a visit to the works for a decent overhaul, so sad. They all are working so hard! 👊😎👍

So impressive to see the amount of goods traffic still on rail then.

Great to see the line back then. Glad you recorded the sound at the same time as well. Did you use a clockwork camera?

Yes I had (and still have ) a Bolex P4 standard 8 camera which has a 30 second run time when fully wound.

@@PeterHutchinson-jc6wv Nice you still have the camera. I thought it was likely clockwork because of the gaps during filming. Someone I knew had one. We don't know how lucky we are now able to record continuously for hours.

Hello again. Another consideration when filming with a cine camera was the cost of film and the need to use all of the capacity of the reel which was 2 minutes each side making 4 minutes in all at a cost of £1 and 5 shillings in 1966. Therefor it could prove expensive to film complete rakes of wagons or coaches as they passed.
