Wrong Line Running
Wrong Line Running
As Minnie required a test run last week I had the line to myself so I took the opportunity to do some wrong line running & film an on board lap and a bit.

A very interesting track layout. I had to watch your video again to get orientated with the plan, as although it is mostly double track there is a single track section within each dog bone loop, hence the wrong way running I assume? - http://www.yorksme.org.uk/wp/?page_id=111
Your Millie handled that run very nicely in manual control.

Keith,
The expression 'wrong road' is generally used to mean a movement made in the opposite direction to normal on the line concerned, a train running up the down for instance. Clearly, this is normally only used in referrence to double (or multiple) lines where each line is intended (and signalled) for use in a single direction (down or up).
There are obvious inherent risks in making wrong road moves which is where the slang term 'bang road' comes from!
I'll take off my anorak now!
