BR in the 1990s Peak Forest Sidings (Buxton) & Dove Holes Quarry on 18th October 1994
Peak Forest and Dove Holes Quarry on 18th October 1994
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of yet another visit to The Peak Forest and Dove Holes Quarry on 18/10/1994. I spent most of the day here capturing the early morning start up of services, then followed by the mid day lul in activity and again the afternoon trains arriving and departing. A surprise was the use of a class 31 (probably for an engineers train) which sped off to Buxton in the morning and returned around mid day. Still double headed class 37s on some heavy duties were still about. I hope the video takes you back to this period with fond memories. Feel free to comment, good or bad, all comments are read and greatly appreciated, but it is not always possible to answer each individually. Sit back and enjoy this latest production remembering all those now long gone Locomotive classes and other types of traction. Many thanks for all subscriptions and all of those viewers who have kindly shown an interest in my material.
