Came across this interesting film looking at transport in 1950:
After a section showing the tunnelling of the Woodhead route, there’s an interesting few minutes from 10:35 of hump marshalling, with interesting communications technology of the time.
The speedometer of the shunter goes up to 3 mph: is this a special controlled low speed Class 08 used for marshalling (speed was required to be increased from 1.5 to 2mph), compared to station shunting?
