- Come and enjoy a trip down the second highest and one of the most talked about narrow gauge railways in the UK, on a very unique wood fired locomotive.
The South Tynedale Railway is a preserved, 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge heritage railway in Northern England and at 875ft is England's second highest narrow gauge railway after the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway in north Devon. The South Tynedale line runs from Alston in Cumbria, down the South Tyne Valley, via Gilderdale, Kirkhaugh and Lintley, then across the South Tyne, Gilderdale and Whitley Viaducts to Slaggyford in Northumberland.
The narrow gauge railway line is built on the track bed of the southern section former Alston Line, a standard gauge branch line between Haltwhistle and Alston which was closed by British Rail in May 1976.
The loco featured in this video is Green Dragon. Green Dragon is powered not by coal but wood briquettes made from waste virgin sawdust - the first locomotive in Europe to do so.
The locomotive was originally supplied to Umtwalumi Valley Estate in Natal in South Africa in 1937 and was used to haul sugar cane from the fields to a mill for processing, using sugar cane waste as fuel.
Beautiful video
Thank you for watching
Lovely video!
Thank you for watching, I am glad you enjoyed it
What a sweet little loco on a beautiful stretch of railroad track.
Thank you for watching, it is an absolutely stunning journey and because the loco burns wood the smell is so unique.
@@TheTouristLine I know some one who has a steam engine and he steams up with fire wood
Very nice video and it's a nice change in comparison to other offerings, to have good sound quality and a what appears to be a gimballed camera. (GoPro and Karma?) How did you arrange the good weather ?
Hi, thank you for your kind words. I use a GoPro 10 and I have an old 7 I use for the more unusual angles. Both of them are on cheap Amazon magnetic mounts (with soft rubber feet over the magnets) as I just find them really quick and easy. The good weather was a total fluke, it was a wash out the day before and the day after!
@@TheTouristLine I usually use a clamp for my Go Pros and I do not know the magnetic ones. Thanks for the tip.
I'd *ALMOST* call this a "Bill Haley & Comets" loco. Not too much "shaking" but plenty of "rattling" as she "rolls"! LOL
I definitely sometimes regret only being 35 when reading your comments, I spend half my time googling who you mention 😂😂
@@TheTouristLine I was born in 1955 when "Rock Around The Clock" was reissued a year after its first issue. My 45rpm copy is British(bought second-hand) and credits the song's appearance in *The Blackboard Jungle,* a film starring Glen Ford. The 1954 first issue had "Rock Around.... " as the B-side but in 1955 the sides were flipped when the song was picked as that movie's closing credits theme song. "Shake, Rattle & Roll" was made a hit by Bill Haley & The Comets but Big Joe Turner recorded the original version a year or two earlier.
Sounds like a lot of coal was being shoveled it to me...
It uses wood briquettes, similar set up to coal
