Just found this on youtube, a runaway train at Bristol.Our gang went out to this incident.The nameplate of the locomotive was unfortunate. ( Special delivery ) No one was seriously hurt.

Re: Brown trouser job.
It was caused by a mistake made by the driver that left the train with no brake

Re: Brown trouser job.
The coal train just happen to be there lucky it was as there would have been a major derailment at Days junction cutting of all trains to they South West for days.There was a cockup with the drivers on the mail train that caused it.It ran from Bristol Parkway to Lawrence hill with no effective brake

Re: Brown trouser job.
Air brakes a very good,untill a person isolates the WRONG valve,then releases the remaining breaks in the train.Result is a roller coaster ride to Bristol
