steam train at speed 44

It's 19.02 on 14 February, 2009 - 34067 Tangmere rushes through Whitchurch, Hampshire, returning the 'Somerset Explorer' to the capital. A few hardy souls dot the platforms, in contrast to the hundreds who were there to see Tornado earlier in the day.

behind the camera of course - It's Whitchurch Hants - if you look at the second part of 'steam train at speed 15' you can see the same engine same station in daylight

I really like your work Will. While the visuals in this clip are v good it is the sound track that is the star & lifts the whole thing to a high standard.

People like me get a great deal of pleasure looking at vids people like you post, so I hope you don't mind me saying that I think your finest work is often your shortest. 35001 at Micheldever is a case in point. A short sharp intense impression (tightly edited) & then it's gone! I've sent it to non steam enthuisasts who loved it!

Loved it. I think of non railway people and may be children on that platform, and she comes roaring through, wow. Sweet memories. Tks for the posting.

It looks almost ghost like, as the train provides the soundtrack. My one thought was "Looks like this train was forty-five years late..but still determined to get there!!"

I especially like the viewers fleeing their position on the crossing at 1:00

[fordlandau]

very atmospheric with the normality of the station being interrupted by the fury of the locomotive..well done !!

[robmcg567]

that is like Dante, brilliant, worn engine off-song but still beautiful.
