Rail Freight Either Side of the Humber Estuary

Description
The East-West corridors of railways that exist serving the ports of Grimsby and Hull form an important artery in the rail freight network. Although much scaled down over the years these lines are situated either side of the Humber Esturary and are busy with freight traffic. In this short series of clips taken in the late 1990s, two locations are seen - one south and one north of the river at Althorpe and Gilberdyke before finishing with shots taken at a point in between at Goole Docks.
AI summary Generated from Fishplate metadata

The footage, taken in the late 1990s, shows the continued use of these lines for freight traffic despite reductions in scale over time. The presence of locomotive stock identified as class 66 suggests operations by British Railways or EWS. No headcodes are recorded in the metadata.
