The Logistics Behind Turning a Railway Coach on the Turntable | Behind-the-Scenes at Kidderminster |
Go behind the scenes at Kidderminster on the Severn Valley Railway as we take a look at the depot logistics involved in turning a railway coach on the turntable.
In this video, a coach that has been shunted over from the carriage works is carefully manoeuvred onto the turntable before being rotated and positioned for its next move. While turntables are most commonly associated with steam locomotives, they can also play an important role in depot operations when rolling stock needs to be reorientated.
Watch the precise shunting movements, teamwork, and planning that make these operations possible, all filmed within the historic surroundings of Kidderminster on the Severn Valley Railway.
