On a rare sunny day in February, D.O.G.
hauled a train load of passengers around some of the most scenic areas in Cumbria, England. Joining the train at Preston, The 'DUKE' proceeded thru Barrow, up the beautiful Cumbrian coast to Carlisle, then back on the return Journey down the West Coast Main Line over Shap.

  • just curious as to what was, the temperature, wind and humidity that day to achive such an impressive plume of steam that runs for miles

  • Well Skip, this little Island of our is surrounded by water, so humidity levels are usually quite high but on this particular day a combination of very light winds under a high pressure system made for some spectacular steam effects. The first part of this rail tour to Carlisle followed the coast line almost continually for something like 80 miles.

  • Smashing stuff Hugh. Loved the smoke trail that the Duke left over the Cumbrian Coast. And the footplate sequences are great as well.

    Hope to catch you around again on the ELR soon. Thanks again for sharing, 5*.

  • Thanks lads. It was fantastic trip and we do it all again on the 8th of March, this time from Liverpool. So book your seats now folks. It really is lovely run.

  • This Video is Amazing Great Job

  • Thanks for posting. If You look on my Youtube Channle, I have filmed the engine arriving and leaving Barrow on the same day this was filmed.

    I live in Barrow and after reading about it in the paper, I headed down with my Tripod and Camera. Platform 1 was packed by the time the engine came in.

    So after I filmed the engines arrival I moved to Platform 2 to get the engines departure.

  • You start the fire with wood scraps?

  • Ten minutes of sheer nostalgia and magic,,brings great memories to this tired old boy..thanks

  • I am not into trains, but this was a pleasent introduction! The sounds, the engines...nice!

  • Why don`t you pot more words at the Tag list? I am lucky because I'm subscribed at your videos, but... I bet there are a lot of people who like trains and will not find this BEAUTIFUL MADE & EXTREMELY INTERESTING MOVIE!
