E257 series Azusa running a 2.5% uphill

I heard some noise which told me a train getting close, my fingers changed my degital camera mode into "movie" being unconscious. lol...


The train was pre-running for the 2.5% uphill after passing through Uminokuchi station for Yanaba station. This 2.5% uphill continues for a while curving right then left. So trains can not have so much speed because of the curve but anyway it's an continuous uphill which must be tough for them.
