Down The Valley To The Coast - The Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway [4k 60FPS]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Come and enjoy a nice relaxing ride down the line River Mite in stunning 4k 60fps. Running direct from Dalegarth right through to Ravenglass without stopping, this is a fantastic way to see the lake district and the stunning scenery on offer on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway.
River Mite is a fantastic 2-8-2 steam locomotive, recently overhauled in 2021 and doing a fantastic job running along the superb 15" narrow gauge railway line that is the Ravenglass and Eskdale railway.
Along the journey you can see all the stops and halts at at Muncaster Mill, Miteside, Murthwaite, Irton Road, The Green, Fisherground and Beckfoot, however this is a direct train to Dalegarth so we just get to enjoy the full journey along the 7 mile (11.3 km) line. As an added bonus, you also get to see the turntable at Ravenglass at the end of the journey in this video, and we also get a cheeky glimpse of the loco Whillan Beck as we pass.

Ravenglass and Eskdale railway operate throughout the year and run a number of special days too. It is worth visiting as the line is just spectacular, so is the lake district setting and especially the mountains surrounding the railway. Tickets are really good value and there is plenty to do.

The railway uses the Radio Control Train Order signalling system. Outside Ravenglass station, the line is single track with passing loops at Miteside, Irton Road and Fisherground. Trains operate by radio communication between drivers and at Ravenglass signal box. At passing loops and the terminus station, drivers contact the controller, using "RANDER" reporting numbers (even numbers for up trains, and odd for down), to indicate that the train is within the loop and is clear of the preceding single track. To leave the loop, the driver contacts control to gain authorisation to enter the next single track section. No semaphore signals are used outside Ravenglass station. Points at passing loops are weighted with direction indicators, meaning that no human intervention is required and the points reset themselves automatically after the passage of a train when entering the points from a trailing direction when the points are set for the other rail line.
Elements of the operation were used by British Rail to cut costs on remote lines. What became known as Radio Electronic Token Block signalling shared features with the Ratty, such as centralised control, automatic points at loops, and on-train equipment rather than fixed equipment at remote locations.
Using the former Poultney tender chassis fitted to River Esk between 1928 and 1931, the new Preservation Society designed a 2-8-2 locomotive, which was built by Clarksons of York in 1966 and commissioned in May the following year. River Mite was delivered to Ravenglass by traction engine. River Mite is currently painted in the "Indian" red livery of the Furness Railway, with black lining and yellow lettering.

@@TheTouristLine carry on the action and fantastic brilliant videos outstanding!!!
Thank you, I enjoy making them 😁
Greetings from Canada. I'm a retired railroader near Toronto & enjoy your videos. Also, the rust on the rail reminds me of running trains on branchlines are are long gone. On some lines we wouldn't take a train on them for weeks and the rust on the rail not only affected crossing signals (rust insulating track circuit) but also caused a lot of wheel slip if it was a dewy morning or started to rain. Anyway, I watch your videos and I find them relaxing as another post has suggested. Thanks for doing them.
One of the things that makes the lake district so special is the weather, one of the wettest places in the UK (200+ rainy days per year) and that will definitely add to the rust, and of course adds to the magic of the place too. I am glad you find the videos relaxing, I think in the world we currently live in this isn't a bad thing
Loved the ride on the turntable at the end.
I looked at my battery on the GoPro app when we pulled in to the station and I had 6% left, the GoPro can corrupt an entire file if the battery goes flat, the turntable was a risky gamble, but I have never seen it done before so risked it
@@TheTouristLine Good call in the end.
@@TheTouristLine I am very happy you did also.
Another great video!
Thank you 🙂

I am glad you enjoyed it! I am in Yorkshire next, not a railway but the Shipley Glen Tramway, I can't wait!
Just a great original video. Amazing filming.
Thank you, I have to admit I really enjoyed making this one (with a hand warmer in each pocket, it was boxing day and a bit fresh)
Beutiful video 👍🌹❤️
Thank you for your kind words
Where is this video filmed?
It is in the lake district (cumbria), United Kingdom, such a lovely location
Well, I've been proved wrong as I thought there were only four intermediate stations between Ravenglass and Eskdale. There are actually six! (in the words of Maxwell Smart, "missed it by thaa-aa-aat much!")
Here they are in order from Eskdale back to Ravenglass.
00:00 Eskdale Terminus
04:14 Beckfoot
09:15 Fisherground
13:54 The Green
17:09 Irton Road
23:52 Murthwaite Halt
31:39 Muncaster Mill
36:32 Arrive at Ravenglass Terminus then decouple from train, loco onto turntable for return run.
You are a legend, would you mind if I put these times in the description at the top? I have been meaning to have a look at this myself this week but the day job has been manic
@@TheTouristLine Go right ahead. I'm glad they're of use. Cheers!
