Fighting the wind and gravity

On the Jixi Coal Railway each morning a train of empty coal wagons was brought up to Xinghua Mine from the washery with a reversal at Zhengyang. There was a steep climb from Zhengyang and the train did not always make the summit first time. On this occasion a strong side wind was not helping and I seem to remember that this was the second attempt which was ultimately successful with SY 1369 making a lot of noise as it came into view.
