One of the highlights of the Welsh Highland Railway's SuperPower weekend was the inclusion of a banking locomotive in the consist of a long freight train. Here, NGG Garratt No. 143 heads the train while classmate No. 138 provides mid-train assistance. Also note the water carrier behind the lead locomotive. The ensemble is seen heading south through the Pass of Aberglaslyn 13th September 2014, recreating a practice sometimes seen in South Africa, from where these locomotives and wagons were procured.
