Derailment at Quorn 46521 GCR, Swithland Steam Gala, Sat 27 April 2013 

Da breakdown train

Well how else would they have done jt 😂

Not just that the knowledge and skill to use it. Unfortunate incident but effective and proficient recovery

I bet the driver had such an adrenaline rush he just pushed it back himself. No need for the crane.

Well, yeah. It was real usefull here

That's Barry not James

Alex-Zander Browne I am

The driver was authorised by the signalman to move so he's at fault too and I doubt they'd have been removed from duty for very long they'd do more training with them.

umm. ok

EASYTIGER10 Wat

😂 LOL

Actually the engine shown in the video is the same as "The Diesel" in Thomas the Tank Engine.

Janet Vonnik

LOL I was just thinking that this looks like a scene out of Thomas the tank engine.

Janet Vonnik it was henry with the flying kipper Welll close enough henry is a black-5. 4 is before 5

Signalman couldn’t pull the dummy ( ground signal) so authorised the driver to pass it at danger. The reason the signal wouldn’t move was because he hadn’t pulled the points first. ( interlocking). The driver took the authority to pass that ground signal but DIDNT check the road was set to leave the siding. Neither did the fireman. So blame predominately with signalman but driver at fault too.

@@highdownmartin Thank You for telling. I get the picture. Human error, not discovered by loco personal. Personally I only trust my eyes watching the tracks. One, not alert, station master forgot preparing 2 unguarded switches and locking them. Of corse they were not pointing my way.... My eyes saved us from embarrassment.. We had a mishap once. During shunting the shunt guy signalled "Backwards" to the steam loco. They stood too close to the red track lock/track barrier, could not see it and derailed one axle of the tender..... No chance for the driver/fireman......

+MikesMovies For some reason I do not know, they passed the signal at danger . The catch point ahead of it would be open to protect the running line . When the signalman set the route, the catch points would have been closed automatically . Making it safe to move off when the signal lowered .

amateur signal man couldn't understand why he couldn't change the signal because he left the catch points open so he gave the driver permission to go and then this happens. I can imagine the crew's words oh shit

MG Heating solutions the points didn’t change

Depends, could be service ending, could just seed grinding.

Its very load on the footplate- also the drivers were probably aware they were going to derail, but couldnt stop the engine in time.

They aren't catch points - they're Trap Points. If you don't know the difference look it up!

but wait it wasnt thomas O_O

Hahahahahaha good one Ryan

Dan Prosl the point didn’t change

Signal man gave the driver permission to pass a signal at danger but the trap points were still set to derail the train.

@@tgm9991 In other words, the catch points worked.

@@ollylewin Yes but due to signalman incompetence or just plain lack of attention, he must have thought the road was set and just the signal had failed.

@@tgm9991 It was exactly that. Somebody forgot about interlocks.

yep.easily found..

Yes it is.

close its a class 44/45/46

yes but the 44/45/46 looked identical

They all had 16 wheels / 8 traction motors. But the Class 40s came from Vulcan at Newton le Willows and the Class 44 to 46 locos came from Sulzer. True that they look similar because of the traction motor layout.

No. I imagine a few ego's were bruised.

Stephen A it's a steam train

its a steam crane

Great Central Railway. Leicestershire, United Kingdom.

Well the trains are too beautiful to be American, so english

The great central railway

OK then but what America didn't do aesthetically in one direction was almost certainly made up for in other ways ... Try watching the TV News for example. All the female 'anchors' are total SORTS whereas in the UK the news doesn't benefit from this sort of eye candy! The weather forecast does at times however ... Dianne Oxberry from North West Tonight especially: 'SCHWWWWWWWWWWWWING!!!'

Flyfactors UK why the fuck do you care how hot a news reporter is, anyway, I'm Bi so I like males and females

Did not look at the signal!

Childhood memories. Delete your comment

@@AlecWheelweld Certainly not. My point stands.
