Some thoughts of 143
143
worked services over Christmas and New Year at the end of 2000, when heavy snow fell in the area. Jim Comerford’s photo below shows the first train on December 30th approaching Tryfan Junction over snow-covered track. This was probably not 143’s first encounter with snowy conditions, as they could affect the upper end of the former Umzinto-Donnybrook line in South Africa, where the loco once worked. 3
This was dealt with in the Bury works of Riley & Son (E) Ltd. The same firm also repaired the loco’s two power units, after which no. 143 was assembled at Dinas. The loco entered service at the September 1998 Enthusiasts’ Weekend, carrying South African black livery, in contrast to 138’s green paint scheme. The two Garratts worked several double-headed trains over the weekend, in addition to solo workings. After a little more attention in the workshops, 143 then worked most trains from early October until the end of the season. 2

Start with Josh Erney, whose walk began the inning. Even that was contentious: Earlier in the at-bat, Dillsburg pitcher Tyler Follmer thought he struck out Erney, and when he didn’t get the call, he paced 10 to 15 feet off the mound, hastily took off his hat and could be heard expressing his objections. 4
