What no one has mentioned is just how tall that rail worker is. Those locos are 13 foot high from the rail head never mind down in the ballast where he's standing yet his head is still halfway up it!
Nice to see my home town and in the background where I used to work when it was British Rail Engineering Works. Now individual industrial units, shopping centre, flats,steam museum and refurbished offices!
I’m only 1 minute in and this muppets hand signaling the driver from the wrong side 😂 and then he goes in between without a hard hat 🙄thanks for showing everyone how to break the rules and show the world how to do it !!!🤣🤣 muppet 🤣🤣
Not exactly great for sure - but I don't believe the other line was clear of active traffic (block on) so he had to use the wrong side making it almost pointless.
@@leonblittle226 fair comment if you look he didn't signal the driver he was going under to couple the wagon to the loco today shunting is very easy in my husband's day it was a lot harder with the shunting pole three types of couplings tree link instanter and screw the buckeye types have made it so easy for today's shunters,
@@david-stewart mate when you've been with someone for over forty years your told alot and learn a lot he even learn me how to work with the shunting pole with three link instanter and screw coupling it's hard work if you know your locos he worked with d 9500, or better known as the class 14,
we've had buckeyes in England since before WWII, they work very well, and are actually a little different to what the Americans use, but the idea is the same

More then an oil spil. 605 decided she'd had enough and threw the oil out. :)
lol

And in the middle of the train each car had thouse American buckeye style couplers
Notice the different cab side window design on the 2 66s...
Excellent video thankyou ❤
Has the broken down train taken a front hit
Wow.. Scene is very fantastic. Very interested view. View of Jointing for twins Locomotive for the goods train. Very excellent catching.
Nice video.Enjoy it thanks
Love the black bogies - they ought to paint them all black regularly 😉
I'm mighty surprised the UK EMDs were never fitted with auto couplers
Some are.
Yeah not hard to see what the failure is
You can see the issue on 66605, oil. I hope they cleaned the railhead, as there would be no traction, which could lead to several issues.
Great locos 👍👍

Will that train carry on to it's original destination?
I like class 66s horn
"We're talking alot of oil. Alot of oil!"
Looks to have had drama with oil as that hatch/door is where the filters are
EMD 710 engine. Sounds just like a North American SD70.
300rpm idle speed, 900rpm max.... amazing grunt...
My husband was a shunter for bsc this chaps shunting signal's where rubbish he needs another course

Sorry I forgot one the third coupling was the instanter ,

Shock horror! A class 66 breakdown. Unreliable? Perhaps a Class 60 should be used to help out.
Awsome😊
Both rear doors open on leaving front
I heard an iet depart in the background
good job
Ohhh dear its had a wee!
It's kinda sus to have those American style couplers on the train

These appear to be genuine type Es, not the smaller passenger Janneys’.
Some of those trains run well over 4000 ton so it was practical to use knuckles on the majority of wagons with a batch of buffer fitted end wagons.

Burt didn't want to couple it up or be filmed doing it. Tough luck pal
666! The devil locomotive.
It's a whole subclass!
hi, if you dont look after a diesel engine properly this is what happens. who looks after these locos, billy smarts circus ?
Hopefully Genesee & Wyoming will be doing a better job in the future.
2 engines and its too heavy for one
The Class 66 must be weak then, because I see single SD40s here in the states pulling longer trains than that.
@@carsarecoo The 59 is just a British SD40-2
@@carsarecoothe 66 is an SD70ACE downsized for the British loading gauge
Did you not read the title? - one engine failed. Deep sigh.
