Where does that engine get it's coal or is it oil?

[981smithy]

@MartyLJ57 Thanks for watching and the loco is coal fired and carries its coal in the small rear bunker of the engine.

All the best for 2012.

Driving up that gradient and having to slow down for the road crossing requires great skill of the engine driver. Great video and thanks for sharing. Regards, John

[siobhan104]

What a stunning last shot. Brilliant!! Unusual to have a cog rly where the loco is pulling instead of pushing. Why did they have the sprinklers on that far up the mountain? Great stuff......Tim.

[981smithy]

@siobhan104 Many thanks for watching Tim, the sprinklers were to stop lineside fires on its climb up to Gletsch.

Many regards Phil.
