ced2 | BS: The forgotten workhorse the TRAIN (68* d) | RE: BS: The forgotten workhorse the TRAIN | 22 Feb 09 |
Much as I love old steam trains and old coaches I am well aware that compared to modern trains they were pretty dangerous places to be if there was an accident. Telescoping, not staying upright etc lead to some awful fatilities. And as for shunting wagons in yards, accidents were commonplace. For those who may be intersted Tom Rolt's book "Red for Danger" or a book on railway accidents by the highly knowledgeable and respected OS Nock remove the rose tint from UK spectacles. |
