[EF-111]

Nice pics of an iconic piece of engineering.

Out of interest, how much do they have to slow down along the section of rail in your first pic?

HI EF-111 they are usually opening the throttle as its on a slight incline and just after a curve hence the smoke & steam from the stack. I know what you mean looking at the shots.

That track in the first pic is a tad rough.
