Wonderful Vid, great memories of my time driving up and down Opapa Bank. 1 in 40 incline. 440 tons for a single DA/DC, on a fine day with a run through at the bottom we could lift 600 tons over this bank. I felt for the driver of 1211 here, stopping and restarting right in the area of the first grease pots. great skills to get her lifting her feet again. Probably cursing the enthusiasts at the same time.
