Interesting piece of footage.I'm an active Belgian member of two British train sites? Could I upload this video please.The two sites are "Railway World tv" and "Steam tube".I will certainly mention my source!

What I like about this is that the engine which got stuck is now preserved, and is currently being restored. So its sort of a happy ending.

This is the heroic sort of film we need to see in these difficult times.

No gloves either. I think I'd want a pair of gloves.

My all time favourite British Transport film, probably because it's my home turf and I can just remember the "old North East" running down from Barnard Castle, via Stainmore to Kirkby Stephen East, Appleby East and finishing up in Penrith.
When men were men, too: "We just get stuck in and dig oursleves out" - and not a hard hat or fluoresecent jacket in sight!

Luckily they didn't have to deal with the "wrong sort of snow" back then, otherwise they'd never have got it moving again!
