In this next shot Number 70 has already pulled her train ahead from the depot, uncoupled, and is now backing around her cars prior to coupling to that just visible green coach. Once complete, passengers boarded, the train will then depart Elbe with the engine running backwards to Mineral. Number 70 is a 2-8-2 Mikado with both leading and trailing wheels so running backwards presents no real problems.
