Heavy Weather
The morning sun brought out the colour in the rocks around the east end of the pit on 1 December 2016. JS.8225 made heavy weather of dragging the first train of the day out of the pit and was down to walking pace and slipping repeatedly by the time the picture was taken. It stalled before it got to the top, requiring the crew to hand sand the rails before it could get going again.
