In Memoriam: Michael Atkinson
A JS comes to grief in Sandaoling.
Having set back a little to enable a good run to exit the pit with it's load of spoil JS 8077 was accelerating at the beginning of the climb when the rails buckled underneath it and it ended up more than a little derailed. Fortunately the crew were uninjured and in fact there were no casualties at all of this incident, apart from the loco. JS 8078 stands in attendance and in the background another JS is seen climbing out of the pit with it's load of spoil.
