Don't remember exactly what happened, I don't have a photo at that spot. There may have been something going on about how fast they would take that curve.

About all I remember is steam locos cutting through the gloom, lots of gloom, as they plodded up the hill. But your photo makes it all, for want of a better word, pretty. I never would have thought...
