Climbing the bog

Pushing 14 wagons and pulling another 14, loco 436 makes climbing the bog look easy. It has about another mile to go before it reaches the far end of the temporary loading track.

'Young' bogs are higher than the land around them. Old bogs can be many feet lower making the locos struggle much more. Bellair North Bog, Co Offaly May 2010
