the loco and its crew were on the way back home with some historic coached. Because of special circumstances, they were asked if they could carry some construction cars with sleepers and tracks along. They did so and thus we get to see a really hard working steam locomotive pulling a 1700 t train uphill without any backup. Spectecular sound and sparks show! The driver did a great joband avoided wheelslip (juuust a tiny little bit). The poor heater shoveled coal like never before...
