My great grandfather used to run tyne dock to consett as well as east coast scotsman service. I know he did atleast 45 years. They probably knew each other!

Thanks. I've been railroading 30 years but this one escaped me.

footplate is what the driver and fireman used to stand on when driving a steam train. I then used the term to mean driving diesel trains also.

Can you help me with the term footplate. I've been an engineer (or engineer trainer) for 30 years in the US but curious as to what this term means.
I heard that a couple of weeks ago 64 trains left Tyne dock in a week=96000 tons WOW

I was talking to the TP man this afternoon at Tyne Dock, there was two freighliners in the dock area, one on its way out, I asked were it was going and he said "Cottam" he also told me that there was 70 a week leaving and they weight was 2200 tons full , but the empty trains weight was 500 tons.
