  • wooow yes its like rolling clocks back 60 yrs or so ?

  • MY LORDZZ KETTLE RACE !!!!

  • I'd heard you guys still had expresses hauled by steam but local stopping trains as well!!!???? Awesome :-) :-)

  • am I the only one thinking that the drivers may have had a little race trying to see which one of their engines goes the fastest. As when I watched the other video when 70013 overtook 44932 44932 suddenly sped up.

  • Wow!! Thanks for sharing.  Wow!!

  • Never in my life have I seen two of these glorious machines Drag Racing. And here in New Zealand, I never will :( Fabulous! Thank you so much for sharing

  • Wow - you were very lucky!

  • What an incredible sight - never thought I'd see that again in my lifetime

  • Outstanding Footage!! Something that definitely doesn't happen very often nowadays.

  • Like holy cow!! Blooming awesome :-) 5*****

  • Fantastic sight, I would have loved to have seen this myself! Thanks for uploading :D

  • What a fantastic sight!

  • 1960's flashback ! . Never to be repeated. Excellent !

  • Amazing sight for 2 kettles on the main-line at once.

  • Fantastic.

  • Wow my god that is amazing!!!!

  • brilliant! 

  • Fantastic !! I'm not a steam nut by any means, but I sure wish I'd been there to witness this !!

  • That was awesome.

    

  • Absolutely amazing!! The possibility of that happening again is very rare!!

  • Never thought I would see anything like this in 2011. Stunning !!

  • liked

  • i was in taunton last weekend and i spotted a Dublo EDG17. I fucking hate trains

  • @alexbassmaster what's the point of watching this video then if you don't like trains?

  • @alexbassmaster If you hate them then what are you doing watching train videos....

  • @ralph5407 i never said i hate trains man read my comments lol. this video is prety cool though steam trains are awesum

  • Now, if it had been a C7 and a D20 that would have been something special... Great video James.

  • Brilliant video. You don't see that often. It would be good if the tour companies did more things like that.

  • Wonderful!! Absolutely incredible!! Made me smile! I've not seen the like since the summer of 1967 on Southern region metals! Well done Sir!

  • Superb! Such valuable footage, as it may not happen again for a long time, if ever.

    I was sitting in Northallerton on a delayed 225 due to a broken rail at Northallerton and having missed the SSE at York as a result this video is great compensation for that.

    Well done!

  • Brilliant!

    

  • Thanks for all the kind comments, It's very pleasing to know that so many of you are enjoying this short bit of footage! It really was an impressive sight to see, and capture for posterity!

    I had been thinking about going on the 'Spa that morning, but am rather glad I went photting instead, fun as it would have been to be watching the 'Black 5' out of the window, seeing them both was just awesome!

  • @Jaymzhatstand You jammy git !! Absolutely brilliant. Thank you.

  • Fantastic! Right time, right place. Who in August 1968 would have thought such a scene would be filmed and broadcast to the world in 2011. Well done and thanks.

  • Terrific footage, a very rare occurrence. Many thanks for capturing the moment and boy do they both look good. Thanks, Dave.

  • It's not every day that happens, that's for sure! Thanks a lot for capturing the event. Nice to see what many would have missed.

  • Great clip my Dad told me when he was working many years ago drivers used to race on this spot to see who got into York first.

    nice to see it really happening

  • So that is what it looked like from outside. I was on the SSE. Historic shot. First time for me leaving York behind steam, plus the side by side running of the two steam locomotives. 5* video.

  • brilliant historic shot.

  • Well thats a first for me, never seen the side by side before.

  • wow; awsom video. 5* and a fave for me.
