A double headed freight, with 18 wagons + a brake van, storm up the hill from the colliery, banked from the rear, on 18th July 2009. The lead loco is, BELLEROPHON, built in 1879, piloting BEYER PEACOCK 1827, built in 1879. The banking loco is FLORENCE No2, built in 1954. many thanks to avonside 1563, who is driving BELLEROPHON & also provided this information.
Splendid! I just love to see industrial locos working hard on steep gradients.
