Steam locomotive 3801 - Yass Junction to Young , including stalling on Young bank - April 1998

Scenes recorded on Sunday April 12th, 1998, of steam locomotive 3801 hauling a tour from Yass Junction to Young in southern NSW. In the afternoon 3801 hauled a trip for the local residents back to Kingsvale, and being no way to turn the locomotive at Young it had to work tender first, resulting in the sanding process not operating effectively enough to cope with the slippery conditions caused by wet grass being crushed on to the rail head when the tour had come into Young, creating an epic struggle to climb Young bank.

The wobbling of the locomotive when the hardcore wheel slip took place was showing just how powerful these things are
