We did this trip some years ago pulled by the same loco, you can really feel the power of this loco even on the steep climbs along the S&C and that was with 12 full coaches behind it

 

[Onslow]

That is awesome.

 

[BruceC]

Its too clean!!!!

Impressive but spoiled slightly by having the diesel loco at the rear.

They always do these days, to supply power for cooking etc, plus if the loco did break down, they still have traction to get it moved

 

[Graham]

Yes. Heavy fines for blocking the line & causing other train operators delays or cancellations. Per minute!

Thick question but how did they light and cook on trains before diesel ?

And then if you look down you can see that there's a story about a mother cat bringing her kittens (both alive and not alive) to be cared for. So sweet.

And here across the Pond, it's an entirely different story. In most of this country (other than the East) freight trains always get the right-of-way and passenger trains must wait. That throws a monkey wrench (spanner) into all of the schedules. And many of the freight trains are one or two miles long.

Poetry in (TRAIN) motion.

The lights were powered by a dynamo on each carriage, this charged a battery so the lights stayed on when the train stopped, I know at some stage the cooking was done using gas supplied in bottles, the train was heated by steam heat

No such thing as a thick or stupid question. My dad said to me decades ago, a genuine question (AKA A QUESTION) is a quest for knowledge so how can that be stupid. Obviously if someone asks something obvious then it's not a question it's a wind up, a joke etc.

One of my old colleagues used to say the only stupid question is the one you don't ask!
