A Class 66 with car cargo clears the way for 35005 Canadian Pacific and a Cathedrals Express at Winchester on 8 October 2002. The train rattles through an empty station and sways over the points. At Basingstoke, however, quite a crowd has turned out to see the water stop, and the sprint start towards London.
Great video. My dad used to drive that very train in the 60's untill the end of steam. He and his fireman actually broke the speed record which still stands today. He'll be over the moon to watch these clips next time he visits.
