British Rail-Darlington & Eaglescliff August 1988

A nice mix BR vid now. Starting at Darlington with some nice Valenta HST thrash we see a couple of freight trains (coal & oil) along with a Met-Cam DMU. Later i traveled to Eaglescliff, a desolate spot but was (still is?) busy with freight traffic. The station is a shadow of its former self, at one time it had 4 platforms (2 islands) with various station facilities but now is a wind-swept shack with bugger all there! But i did capture an unusual visitor in that green 45 106 came creeping along running light engine, this was only the fourth one i ever videoed and the last Peak until class 46 Ixion came back to the main line. Loco classes seen on this vid are 37, 45, 47, 56, HST, 101 & 143. If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!
