5239 Goliath Springs Into Action: Dartmouth and Paignton Steam Railway - 2025

A short trip to the English Riviera, to the Dartmouth Steam Railway. Steam returned to the English Riviera a few weeks ago, but a clear Saturday to catch GWR 5239 Goliath charging up the gradients is worth heading out for. The day went uninterrupted; the only surprise was the closed Higher Dartmouth Ferry. English Riviera Express railtours to Kingswear start in May. 5029 Nunney Castle is expected to lead some of the tours. There was no shortage of whistles in this film, as well as some hill climbs, viaducts and level crossings. On a sunny March day, shots were taken at:

00:00 Dartmouth Steam Railway
00:10 Goodrington Sands
02:03 Greenway Halt
03:19 Saltern Cove
05:41 Moss Marina
06:40 Higher Dartmouth Ferry
07:48 Higher Ferry Slipway
10:31 Hookhills Viaduct
11:24 Roundham Gardens
