8257 8229 8214 5132 Ardglen 18/11/22

8257, 8229 & 8214 slowly snake their way up the 1:40 grade of Ardglen Bank in full power. Hauling 5132 from Wee Waa to Enfield, with containerised cotton and other agricultural products.

For the large coal trains that also use this section of track, near Murrurundi; banker locomotives are used to push the consist over the hill, before detaching on the fly. Surprisingly, they're not used for most general freight services. 18/11/22
