Penzance Railtours 26.6.2010

I was at Penzance on the 26th of June 2010 seeing 3 railtours in one day. Firstly DRS double-headed class 37's numbers 37259 and 37218 arrive with the Kernow Explorer operated by Spitfire Railtours and it arrives with some of my mates bashing the tour, peggey707, turkeygeorge401, Dean and his brother. Then we film and phot on a wall near the bay to see the 37's doing some shunting business and then we see the 56 tour come in. Double headed 56's nos 56311 and 56312, arriving with The Cornishman operated by Pathfinder Tours. Then the 67 tour comes in with top and tailed class 67's nos 67016 and 67024. Then we see some more shunting from the 56's. Then the 56 leaves Penzance with a pretty loud 2tone and it CLAGGED out! Then we had a VERY long wait for the 67 to leave due to a lineside fire near Camborne. But the firefighters controlled the fire and the signal changed green. It was running very late. Then it made a blast of the horn which made me jump, like all 67 horns do for me, and 66's lol! Then the 37 tour shunts in the platform and all the railfans board the tour and so do my mates and the 37 made a 2tone and purred out the station 70 minutes late. I will put the photos as as separate vid cos this vid is very long.

Enjoy!
