did the train go thru or did it take the junction to go onto the maryhill line?

[ANDREW40012]

Straight through on to the Falkirk line.

Excellent sound. It reminds me of the days of riding behind Class 37s up the Rhymney line through Caerphilly tunnel. Has the tunnel out of Glasgow Queen St got a very steep gradient?

[ANDREW40012]

You could say that yes !

[mekydro]

Probably the best bit of 40 thrash on Youtube, to date!

[ANDREW40012]

Glad you enjoyed it - it was memorable to say the least - lets hope we can do it again sometime !!!!

@OKRAFIRE

No you idiot, it is for a reason, the same reason that people shout at football matches and concerts. As one of the people out of the front window on this clip I can assure you that if I could have shouted louder, I would have.

@bradleymanor Yes, the Cowlairs Incline (originally rope-hauled!) is 1 in 46 or thereabouts. Countless journeys up in by DMU/26/27/37/47 are ingrained on my mind :-)

[OKRAFIRE]

Excellent, 5/5

Apart from that shouting bullshit and that 'waving your fists out of the window' FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON AT ALL.

5/5 fav

[thushit]

its a 1in 42 climb for nearly a mile

[Electricfox]

Simply epic-thrash! :D

..... Hope they checked the structure of the tunnel afterwards....
