Sunrise Sunset UK Volume 1 - A day at Peak Forest and Great Rocks.
The
first programme in the Sunrise Sunset series takes you to the
freight-only location of Peak Forest. Situated some 26 miles from
Manchester and 22 miles from Sheffield this picturesque area of the Peak
District in Derbyshire is best known for its limestone quarries and the
transportation of stone and cement by rail.
Filmed on a fine
sunny day in May 2011, as the title suggests, a complete day of
operation is filmed from sunrise to sunset. Class 60, 66 and 67 locos
are featured arriving and departing with various trains and wagon types
and the various shunt moves, train loading, train preparation and loco
fuelling is all wrapped up with semaphore signals and signal boxes.
The
appearance of the silver Class 60, 60099 is the undoubtedly the
highlight of the show and as well as Peak Forest itself, there is action
from Great Rocks Junction – just a half mile down the line – with stone
trains running to and from Tunstead.
Filmed in 16:9 widescreen
with a running time of 100 minutes and available in stunning high
definition on blu-ray , this title shows what happens during a typical
day at Peak Forest and is a must for anybody following the current UK
freight scene.
Please note you will need a Blu-ray
