| Video Discription | Rail Operations Group (ROG) Class 47 47812 passes Reading West station working train 5O86 from Leicester to Eastleigh with 4 barrier vehicles nos 6340, 6344, 6330 & 6338. Clip recorded 22nd June 2020. The British Rail Class 47 is a class of British railway diesel-electric locomotive that was developed in the 1960s by Brush Traction. A total of 512 Class 47s were built at Crewe Works and Brush's Falcon Works, Loughborough between 1962 and 1968, which made them the most numerous class of British mainline diesel locomotive. They were fitted with the Sulzer 12LDA28C twin-bank twelve-cylinder unit producing 2,750 bhp (2,050 kW) – later derated to 2,580 bhp (1,920 kW) to improve reliability and have been used on both passenger and freight trains on Britain's railways for over 55 years. Despite the introduction of more modern types of traction, a significant number are still in use, both on the mainline and on heritage railways. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ A barrier vehicle (BV), barrier wagon, match wagon or translator coach is used to convert between non-matching railway coupler types. This allows locomotives to pull railway vehicles or parts of a train with a different type of coupler. They are often found on empty coaching stock moves where freight locomotives need to transport coaching stock fitted with Scharfenberg couplers and other automatic couplers. The use of barrier coaches has evolved with a general move from conventional passenger trains consisting of locomotive-hauled coaches, to trains consisting of multiple units. These vehicles tend to be neutrally liveried or in some cases are painted with the livery of a particular rolling stock company. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Reading West railway station serves West Reading, Berkshire, about 1 mile (1.6 km) west from the town's main retail and commercial areas. The station is served by local services operated by Great Western Railway. To the north of the station the line crosses a railway bridge over the Oxford Road, followed by Oxford Road Junction, which is the southern apex of a triangle of tracks. The tracks to the west curve round to join the Great Western Main Line towards Bristol at Reading West Junction, and are largely used by freight trains between Southampton Docks and points to the north. The tracks to the east lead to Reading station. The station has two platforms, which were linked by a footbridge until it was demolished as part of the electrification of the Reading to Newbury line. There is a ticket office on the Reading-bound platform, which is open only in the morning, and canopies provide some shelter on each platform. There is separate pedestrian access to the northern end of both platforms from Oxford Road, together with access to the southern end of the down platform from Tilehurst Road. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Rail Operations Group (ROG) specialises in ad-hoc movement of rolling stock for rolling stock companies and train operating companies as well as locomotive spot hire services and the operation of charter trains. Founded by Karl Watts, it commenced operating in November 2015. After the company was granted an operating licence by the Office of Rail and Road in March 2015, Rail Operations Group commenced operating rolling stock movements with a Class 37 locomotive leased from Europhoenix in November 2015. In 2017, ROG began to move second generation multiple units without having to use a barrier vehicle, courtesy by fitting some of its locomotives with Dellner couplers to haul multiple units built after 2001 and using a tightlock coupling device developed by UK Rail Leasing. Rail Operations Group operated its first scheduled passenger services in August 2017, when it operated services from London Marylebone to Birmingham Moor Street under contract to Chiltern Railways. ROG has also leased Class 50 locomotives for snow clearing and to assist other train operating companies in route learning for diversions. In 2018, Rail Operations Group confirmed a long term lease for two Class 57s owned by Direct Rail Services, and also announced that ten Class 93s have been ordered from Stadler Rail. The first locomotive is scheduled for delivery in Aug 2020. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Reading is a large town and unitary authority area in the county of Berkshire, England. It is located in the Thames Valley at the confluence of the River Thames and River Kennet, and on both the Great Western Main Line railway and the M4 motorway. Reading is located 36 miles (58 km) east from Swindon, 24 miles (39 km) south from Oxford, 36 miles (58 km) west of central London, and 14 miles (23 km) north from Basingstoke. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ @FrontCompVids - Follow us on Twitter!
