The Gartell Light Railway runs mainly along a former line closed in the 1960s, but the engine sheds etc. are a short distance away from that alignment. To get onto the main line from the yard, trains make a tight turn under this bridge and up an incline on the other side of the embankment. This means you can get two trains one above the other as shown here.
