SHEEP crossing railway line!

- Another footpath, another level crossing! This hidden footpath passes right through the middle of a Brett Aggregates site in the rural town of Cliffe in Kent, England. At the end of the path is Cliffe Brett Marine railway sidings which is a spur from the Grain Branch Line. There is a very busy industrial level crossing where I caught a Class 66 (66171) freight train shunting some wagons to be loaded and then left empty. This crossing is very busy and used by trucks AND sheep being herded by sheep dogs from a nearby field!
Footpath is RS60. Google Maps Reference: www.google.com...

Love this one. Decided to watch it again today.
Thanks for this. Such an amazing video.
Nice 👍, good to know there's a public footpath here as I thought this 3 track crossing was inaccessible due to the large private industrial area. A level crossing for sheep is something you don't see everyday! 🐑🐑🐑🐑
Thanks! I went down a couple of times to walk the footpath and was quite surprised to find it ran right through the middle of the site! The sheep were a surprise :)
Year🐏🐑🐑🐏
So busy, thanks for a lovely film, nice to see you back.
Very cool train video, I never saw Sheep at a crossing before
Ahh what a perfect match I love trains but also lambs and sheep I even help out on a sheep in Wales on my holidays 🐑🐏🐑🐏
Amazing Industrial and Rural mix...
Nice video! So weird, I shall go down there one day!
Whilst the shots of the EWS loco & it's load of empty wagons was interesting, I have to say that watching the flock of sheep was almost more enjoyable !! Another great vid though - well done.
Thanks! The sheep were totally unexpected!
cool video
That first bit was brilliant I didn't know that they dredged for bricks that class 66 was tatty
The motion of that video.....I was half expecting you to pull a AK-47 out :)
Oh my goodness, the sheep crossing the tracks 💖 my my day that did seeing that
What a great video - hidden footpath, industrial railways and "One Man and his dog " or should that be two men & four dogs :). Nice one.
This format of yours resonates with me ,a fabulous idea and full credit to you too .Compelling from start to finish and then we hear that familiar sound of a two stroke GM .( Love Redsheds ) A fabulous piece of footage and a mixture of sheep and 66,s blended together was amazing ! Thankyou so much and have subbed you ,cheers Redshed 66077 .
I love Kent, being a lorry driver Ive seen most of it!
That was different! Most enjoyable
Up to four services a week leave at 3.45am and head for my nearest station, Tolworth. To supply Day Aggregates and London Concrete.
Usually arriving around 6.45am
The stock has been pretty random lately, instead of the uniform fleet of Brett wagons. Hopefully it's a good sign that their fleet can't cope with the demand for materials. Some of those ex RMC wagons served Tolworth when the were new, bringing sea dredged aggregates from New Haven. Later they all moved to the Peak District to join the rest of the RMC fleet.
Nice video. Didn't realise you could get that close to Brett's depot.
How did you manage to make the perfect film. Everything moved as if you directed it. Impressive. Regards from Germany!
Lovely video a place i know very well !
It is nice. Your cover picture of the token key is Signal NK509 which is at the branch for this line isn't it?
@@morthren yes at start of the Grain Branch
Great video! Interesting crossing, though I like the trail leading up to it.
Thanks! I did video a lot of the trail in the beginning, but it made the video really long so I cut a lot of it out.
NOW I know whence the Aggregates trains that pass through Sidcup originate!
World's greenest footpath and holy sheep! LOL
Imagine that happening at Wool level crossing
It’s cool
3:24 Is this the part you are looking for?
That’s a ton of sheep
That pathway is a pedestrian oasis in an otherwise industrial desert. Can't say I've seen or heard of anything like that before now. What's with the two gnomes sitting on the concrete block at the crossing? Must be railfans, given the direction they're facing.
nice video bro
Is this about a mile and a half north of Higham on the London/Kent border? Might check it out one day.
Yes about that. Just head towards Cliffe from Higham.
morthren Will do. Thanks! 😜
That was cool.
The best
Nice route
Great video:-)
Great video and fascinating location. Excellent editing as always.
Maybe wellies required. Not sure.
Definitely wellies if it rains!
I LIV UR VIDS
What happend to the 66 on top
They should put some goats in the foot path for a while to clean out the weeds.
This spur looks never to have been electrified.
You are correct. Most freight only lines are non electrified.
What's maybe more interesting is that in your Angerstein clip, the line has a definite third rail up to the Fairthorn foot crossing, but beyond for only about 15 feet.
I know the rail you're talking about. That's called a check rail that's used on curves and bridges to make sure the wheels stay aligned when they go over the bridge or round the curve. This has some more information: www.quora.com/Whats-the-reason-of-those-iron-fits-between-rail-tracks
Thanks Morthren, that makes a whole lot more sense than a half-electrified spur. Seems there's quite a bit about railways for me still to learn.
Beep beep! I’m a Sheep! I say beep beep! I’m a Sheep.
Lol
No.

Nice
What kind of driver parks their car half a meter from the tracks? If a train had c8me through on the pat track it’d be hit!
It could be the person operating the crossing or who otherwise works for the railway though, provided they're "inside" the railway.
Please buy a Gambol for your primary video camera MOTION SICKNESS!!!!!!!
This is quite an unusual crossing! In America, these industrial crossings might only be protected with just a sign!
Where I live, unguarded crossings are common. Generally, lights will only be found at crossings with significant traffic, but those will very rarely have gates. Also note that American trains are very loud compared to British trains, which are nearly silent.
