Over The Top
JS.8197 dragged a loaded coal train into Kengkouzhan on the afternoon of 26 November 2018. Normally locos would have shut off by this point but, on this occasion, the train had been held beyond the signals for half an hour until a track gang had completed their work. The combination of a cold engine and a restart on the gradient produced just enough exhaust to blot out the unsightly communications masts behind.
