Hot afternoons, hot cargo. 6De-2558 shoving slag ladlesHuta Częstochowa, 25th July 2022.

Shoving hard, 6De-2558, an SM42 belong to Liberty Steel's Huta Częstochowa, pushes a rake of slag ladles up the short spur into the slag tipping site belonging to Haze Sp.z.oo. Trains must reverse on a headshunt when coming in from the direction of the electric arc furnace. We have been waiting for a movement that never comes at the rear of the coking ovens on the late afternoon of July the 25th 2022. But this train comes in to break up the wait. The day has been hot and the locos side doors flap open keeping its internals from overheating and the slag is hot.
