Rail conditions were very difficult on the line serving the electric shovel and several trains had difficulty getting away, possibly due to the coal that missed the wagons and ended up on the track. After many minutes of violent slipping JS.8190's crew summoned assistance from JS.8197 and the pair managed to get the train moving. A few seconds after the picture was taken, both locos shut off, JS.8197 detached and JS.8190 continued as normal.
An hour later it was JS.8197's turn to start a train from the same spot, a task it only managed after around 30 minutes of slipping.
