[HS]-Coal to Oxspring Sidings (Robinson O4)

Whilst electric traction was a key part of freight operation on the Woodhead route, a surprising amount of freight continued to be moved by steam traction. This sort of work tended to be allocated to either 8Fs or O4s, and in this scenario a pair of O4 2-8-0s will be working a loaded coal train from Mottram Yard to Oxspring Sidings near Penistone. As the scenario begins, you have coupled onto your train and are awaiting permission to depart. Once you have the road, you will begin the long, difficult climb up to Woodhead Tunnel. Maximum permitted speed for this service is 35 miles per hour. Duration: 45 minutes.

DLC Requirements:
Woodhead Route (1950s)
