BR(S) Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I've just heard that 70803 and two wagons have derailed in an engineering possession at Ivybridge. Don't know how accurate this is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen a photo on Facebook Ian I had to check which Dalston as a I thought it might have been somewhere on the the North London Line which would have brought a few days of chaos.

Don't know how accurate this is. Fairly accurate, just come back from the site. One wagon off plus loco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted February 29, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 29, 2016 No trap points at this location, Mike. The connection is controlled from a ground frame released by Carlisle box - and traps are certainly provided and can be seen under the loco. Are you getting your locations mixed up Captn ?

Glorious NSE Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I think there's a little confusion as we've ended up discussing a photo of a derailment at Dalston near Carlisle, in a thread about a derailment/collision at Ivybridge in Devon...

Talltim Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 The loco is has been rerailed and is being moved to Tavistock junction, minus much of its front (and rear) end fittings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gary H Posted February 29, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 29, 2016 The loco is has been rerailed and is being moved to Tavistock junction, minus much of its front (and rear) end fittings. Indeed. A sterling effort by the re-railing gang and our men at Tavi in the track repairs saw the possession handed back about 30 minutes early at 01.30 (ish) Mon. I must admit, I didn't think that would happen. The loco worked to Tavi under its own power inside the possession last night but will need some repairs before onward movement. All's well that ends well! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted March 1, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 1, 2016 Likewise thanks to all concerned in recovery and getting track passable. I was happily creating the XC train plan for no railway which was the NR Western Control advice to us up to 20.00 Sunday. - We would have had 3 sets trapped west and two booked to pass site ECS early hours Monday from Exeter- a get of jail card as it happens for service start up - but would have been out of service at BHM for fuel this would have seen two BHM - MAN returns cancelled while fueled and bought back into service - not pretty. As it was full service from start up until two GWR trains failed in Bristol area! Hopefully crews all ok afterwards and the loco and wagons back in traffic before too long. I wonder if the bent on delivery 70 will supply parts? ho hum Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talltim Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I've seen a few pics of the loco at Tavistock, but none that I could share here, but finally found a couple on Flickr.Looks like the frame at the leading end of the loco (when it collided with the rear of the other train) is a bit bent down. In the pics it is the one with the cowling removed70803 tavistock yard 1-3-16 by Stephen Andrews on Flickr70803 tavistock yard 1-3-16 by Stephen Andrews on Flickr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfsup Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 It certainly does look a little like the cab has drooped a little bit! You can also tell that those over-riders certainly do work, as it's taken one in 'the eye' - Function over Aesthetics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
