Mystery location c1970

[BritishRail.tv]

Hi all,

We have a film clip c1970 from an unknown location...

The film features an LMS Black 5 and Standard class 4.

Perhaps someone here can confirm where it was filmed?

Many thanks

keighley and worth valley railway is where most of that was filmed definitely i volunteer there and have seen them scenes

the black 5 in first shot (45312) belongs to KWVR and is on long term loan to NYMR
standard 4 tank (80002) is still operational there
and the black 5 in last clip (5025) is awaiting overhaul at Strathspey Railway

hope that helps

The opening shots are at Oxenhope, then the approach to the Damems passing loop (note fixed distant) and running into it from the Oakworth direction. I'm not certain of the next shot, but the train is then seen running into Keighley and then out again. The static loco shots are in the loco yard at Howorth.

Thanks all for your assistance, much appreciated.

Will have to find some more challenging footage next time!

A nice piece of film.....but if you don't mind me being critical, ruined by the music!! I appreciate it was probably filmed on a cine camera with no sound facility, but I'd rather turn my sound off and watch it in its raw state. Or if I want music, I'd prefer to listen to my own choice, which I can't in this case because the sound's turned off!

I found a great site the other day; Southern Railway Films on You Tube, which plays the sound of a cine projector running throughout their silent films - which gives a really evocotive feel tothe footage.

Bit late but the station name "OXENHOPE" laid out in white bricks on the cutting side is an excellent clue to the location :roll:
