BR Railfreight Summer 1992: Cross-London Heavy Freight Action

BR Railfreight Summer 1992: Cross-London Heavy Freight Action. Unseen archival footage captured on a warm summer's day in June 1992, showcasing British Rail’s busy orbital freight corridors across London. This short film captures the transition of heavy freight moving from West to East London via the North London Line corridors. We start with lineside action near Old Oak Common before moving a short distance to the historic Mitre Bridge Junction. Here, we see multiple trains negotiating the level crossing and a brilliant shot of a then-modern Class 60 hauling heavy freight over the bridge crossing the Great Western Main Line out of Paddington. The action then shifts to the other side of London at Stratford Station, where a classic Class 47-hauled Freightliner service arrives from the West London Line direction and heads north. No voiceover, just the pure, raw sounds of Sulzer and Mirrlees engines working hard in the summer heat. #BR Railfreight 1992, #British Rail 1992, #Class 60 freight, #Class 47 Freightliner, #Mitre Bridge Junction train, #Old Oak Common 1992, #Stratford Station 1992, #London railfreight archive, #90s train spotting London, #West London Line freight
