Class 113 DMU at Singleton Bank

×

Details

One of a series of images credited to the LMR Mechanical & Electrical Engineers Department at Derby recording the aftermath of the collision on Singleton Bank (near Weeton) where a six-car DMU excursion struck the rear of a stationary ballast train on 16 July 1961.

This is image 1, captioned "3rd. diesel rail car M.51780. Leading End after being moved from track."

The vehicle was the third car in the train and was barely a year old. It would not be returned to traffic.
