Enjoy the atmosphere of a busy railway centre in the 1960s, with over 50 steam-hauled and 15 diesel-hauled trains shown and freight workings threading through the heavy holiday traffic. Dwindling freight traffic and ‘Block’ trains brought about the demise of York's shunting yards, built originally built to re-marshall the large volumes of freight using the East Coast Mainline. Recorded between 1959 and 1968 this video reflectes the decline of the steam locomotive and the emergence of diesel traction.

Situated 14 miles north of York, on the East Coast Main Line, Pilmoor station closed in 1950 and its platforms demolished, allowing the laying of a new southbound slow line, quadrupling the mainline from York to Northallerton. This programme records the passage of over 100 trains including 65 named locomotives, the largest weight-carrying truck ever built in this country, a permanent way crane at work and a Class A4 engine hauling three condemned Class A3 locomotives, demonstrating the change from steam to diesel power on the East Coast Main Line in the 1960s.

A major rail centre on the West Coast Main Line, the city was a fascinating place in the early sixties and this video shows the scene before the diesels arrived in force. The programme features extensive coverage of the station and MPDs together and, in addition, there are journeys on the Silloth and Langholm branches. During this 60-minute programme over 160 engines are featured - over half of them named! As the film progresses the numerous ex-LMS and LNER locomotive classes give way to BR ‘Standard’ classes in the final run-down of steam traction.

Darlington works built and repaired locomotives from 1863 to 1966, from small tanks to large pacifics. Most locos featured in this video were built or repaired in North Road Works and run in from Darlington shed before returning home. Shown hard at work on journeys they performed for over half a century are J27's and Q6's. Also featured are K1's and WD's with 9F's on the Consett iron ore trains. After looking at A1's, A3's, A4's, V2's and B1's etc. on shed and in the works yard, we ride on the Richmond and Catterick Camp branches then watch steam in action as we move across country to Billingham. Boarding a DMU we travel up the coast through Hartlepool and Sunderland to watch the numerous workings from South Dock shed. Leaving the coast line we look at Washington and the iron ore traffic and return to Darlington via Penshaw. 55-mins of colour plus a black and white sequence taken inside Darlington Works.

he West Midlands in the early 1960s was a hive of activity with Stourbridge Junction yards handling large tonnage's of freight both into an out of the Birmingham area. To the northwest, Shrewsbury handled a constant flow of passenger traffic with the Western region running London to Birkenhead services, plus through trains to the Cambrian coast. In addition, routes had to be found for north/south expresses, local branch trains and stopping trains. The steelworks at Brymbo is visited en route way to Chester, where heavy North Wales Coast holiday traffic compteted with freight workings for a path through the station.

The WCML junction at Carnforth, to the North of Lancaster, handled over 150 passenger, parcels and empty stock workings plus 80 freight workings in a normal day in the 1960s and freights were routed into the extensive loops to allow faster trains to overtake. This programme shows the continuous freight activity that occurred in the miles of sidings, plus express passenger and fully braked goods trains passing through Carnforth. The WCML from Preston to Carnforth in the early 1960s is also featured, in addition to local services from Barrow and Windermere plus scenes at Morecambe, Heysham and Wennington.

Co. Durham's prosperity and the growth of it's rail network was due to the counties once extensive coalfields with many mines still open until the late 1960s, their rail traffic operated by Class J27s, Q6s and WDs steam locomotives. In addition, superb film taken at a variety of locations shows National Coal Board locomotives hard at work. Continuing the coastal journey from Billington to Newcastle - started in Volume 4, 'Darlington'- the River Tyne is crossed before moving South on the ECML. A narrow gauge clay-pit railway locomotive being delivered behind a traction engine is featured, together with Durham's most Westerly branchline - Weardale.

The railway map of Birmingham and the west Midlands was extremely complicated with the Midland, London North Western and Great Western railways competing for traffic. This video looks at the area's disappearing rail network of the 1960s, from the Lickey Incline in the south to the Trent Valley line in the north and from Hatton in the east to Oxley in the west. The main line diesel had not invaded these areas in 1963, so ex-LMS and GWR hard at work handling the wide variety of trains for which they had been designed, from long distance freights to branchline pickup goods.

In 1960, there were seven different rail routes radiating from Hull, then a prosperous port, on the north bank of the River Humber. There were also two circular routes within the city from the west side marchalling yards to the docks on the east side. The River Hull has the Old Port at its mouth and this was the most densely populated area, so the various railway companies had to swing north and build their routes through the outskirts of the city.

Local cameramen filming in the late 1950s and early 1960s captured many of the steam workings in and around the city together with more recently introduced diesel multiple units working alongside steam services to Withernsea. Freight traffic was still almost all steam hauled and many of the excursons to Bridlington had steam power.

The city’s trolley buses are featured together with deep-sea trawlers, Humber paddle-wheel ferries, busy docks, a local rugby match and the railway route to Withernsea.
