Somehow I stumbled upon this video on YouTube and thought I'd share. Way cool. I like how you can even see the heat all the wheels on the tender and cars generate. I also noticed that the tender coupler looks hot, any ideas on why that would be?

I would guess that it is the journal boxes that are hot on the trucks.

Yeah, I went back to edit to say journals and wheels but wasn't able to. You can see what appears to be wheel heat on the passenger cars. It is curved and below the square shape of the journal.

Well, it IS November in Manchester, England.
Just wondering why it's running in reverse.
