Harrow and Wealdstone Train Crash 68 years later 

@Alexander Challis Thanks dude

Thanks for the info.

According to the official report, the Perth train was doing about 60 mph. The driver overran two danger signals, for reasons unknown. Seeing that the train was over an hour late, running any faster would not have made any real difference, as it was only twelve miles from its terminus. In 1952, Britain's railways were still recovering from the war, and there was nowhere on the system passed for 100 mph running at the time, and certainly not at the approach to a London terminus in peak hours. The actual death roll was 112, excluding the ten who died later. The official report gave 64 on the local, 23 on the Perth train, 7 and a train attendent on the Liverpool train, 14 passengers on the platform, the driver and fireman of the Perth train, and one of the drivers of the Liverpool train. Incidentally, 42389 was hardly damaged. The engineering staff at Crewe wanted to repair 46202, as it had only been rebuilt from a Turbomotive six weeks previously. In the end, the powers that be decreed otherwise, and 46202 was finally withdrawn in May 1954.

Really sorry for your loss

3 passenger trains collided

Needs a Blender version (with serious maths)..... but this is a good effort, hacked together....;-)

This has nothing to do with this disaster.

No, stroke is better.

@@MrTankThatStopped No, struck is better

Who's Veva and Leo? This is real life

the 3 trains crashed

69 now

I'm pretty sure he sped to 66mph because they were 1h+ late due to fog. He didn't see the signals. And then the crash happened.

The engine's name was Windward Islands...

Fun fact I might be wrong but this might be the first three-way pile-up in railroad history

The Abbot ripton rail disaster in 1876

@@samanthabradley1245 You mean three train?

@@samanthabradley1245 Late reply but it's the first three train crash in the UK, followed by Clapham Junction in 1988

I think no kids died but I’m not sure

@@westinbridges7321 good! Hopefully it was the same for southhall and Ladbroke Grove

I think so

@@florjanbrudar692 No. I'm Suggesting That Death Is Only For Adults

the london underground bakerloo line runs from elephant & castle to harrow & wealdstone

Bruh you can just put all of this in one comment.

Dragon Castle

Did this happen in 1953? No it didn't It happened on the 8th of October 1952

Yeah

1953 is the tangawi train crash in Christmas

@@henrystickman5983 That was in new zealand, a UK territory but I wasn't talking about Tangiwai

It was 1952 and it was not until 1955 that the decision was made to phase out steam traction in the UK.

@@florjanbrudar692 yes i did. Why?

​@@artismbyjoey779 ...It's the correct year, like Robert said so

@@robertoliver6237 steam survived on British Railways until 1968 - last BR-built steam loco 'Evening Star' was constructed in 1960 - so some locos retired with only 8 years revenue earning service :| But happily over 200 steam locos survive, some of them even still run on the main line hauling special charters
