This video showing British steam at speed is pretty exciting, especially how they go through a station. Enjoy!

I admit I'm partial - this video is absolutely first-rate! The digital clarity is simply amazing.
I agree it is a quality video for sure. I watched it on my big screen smart TV which has YouTube access...and it is spell binding both for sound and image quality.

Flanger,
Simple question. Why haven't we seen more American videos similar to this digital video of English trains at speed? The startling clarity of this digital video is so far beyond anything I've previously seen here in the States its almost scary. I really wish someone here would come along and produce videos of this quality sooner rather than later.
You haven't seen too much US steam going fast because most of the recent steam action has been on NS. They have established a 40 mph speed limit for steam.
However, running on Metra out of Chicago, we were able to let the 765 stretch her legs a little. This clip is at 70 mph.
Some spectatular footage, Bob. Thanks for sharing!
Rich, whee you driving in the clip you shared? Also, unrelated, but will you be at York on Saturday?
