SUNDAY EXTRA: Mallard on the Settle and Carlisle

LNER Class A4 4468 Mallard is a 4-6-2 ("Pacific") steam locomotive built in 1938 for operation on the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) at Doncaster Works to a design by Nigel Gresley. Its streamlined, wind tunnel-tested design allowed it to haul long-distance express passenger services at high speeds. On 3 July 1938, 'Mallard' broke the world speed record for steam locomotives at 126 mph (203 km/h), which still stands.

Here is a near-complete original recording of a VERY rare documentary recorded on its original and only ever transmission on BBC1 back on Monday 10th July 1989 which showed record-breaking 'A4' No. 4468 "Mallard" hauling rail tours on the beautiful Settle and Carlisle railway over the weekend of July 16th and 17th 1988.

The sunshine helped cause the gold dust to be seen easier. The Alaska Railroad bull caught me then a local train rolled by.

SUNDAY EXTRA: Massive Railroad 1,500' Trestle Deep In The Forest Of Maine 90 Yrs Abandoned | post 10

This Was Very Time Consuming Hike But Enjoyable As A Rail Fan, Today In This Video We Walked About 4 Miles Of The Railway, The Railway Runs About 6 Miles Total With The Remaining 2 Miles On The Other Side But You Won't See Anything More, The Other Side Had A Few Washouts But Is The Same As What You See Here And Requires A Few Mile Hike To Reach As Roads Do Not Run Close To It. The Stone Supports You Saw In The Water Were Because It Is Too Deep For Pillars As They Would Have To Be To Long. Online It Will Say 13 Miles Long, That Is Total Including Removed Sections That Do Not Exist. (We Did It Years Ago)This Place Looks Awesome From Google Maps.
