Chasing BR 4MT 76079 on 'The Cambrian' - 20/08/09

Chasing alongside BR Standard Class 4MT 2-6-0 no.76079 "Pocket Rocket" as it departs Tywyn at a fine pace with West Coast Railways' "The Cambrian". Definitely one of the best experiences I've ever had and worth doing again. We were going to see her at the station but as we were arriving she was leaving so we went for a pacing shot instead and as luck would have it the road was clear all the way down.

Filmed with a Sony DCR-SR57E Camcorder

Enjoy

@HSTMichael how do you mean?

[D335Media]

Chief what speed was this at....

[letmadnessbegin]

@D335Media I would say she was probably doing about 50 mph at the end although it's just a guess. Thanks for looking and commenting =)

If America could once again make these fine machines, we could turn around this economic collapse and be the envy of the world.
