RMweb Premium phil-b259 Posted November 14, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 14, 2021 The 'Engineering train' is actually a RRV machine which has somehow come to grief and derailed over the tips of a set of switch diamonds* Looks difficult to extract without wrecking S&T kit from what I have seen. * Like a traditional diamond crossing but where its formed like a back to back / tip to tip set of points 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks to have terminated at Stafford after spending about four hours between Little Bridgeford and Stafford. A light engine then went north from Stafford as 0Z57 eight minutes after 1Z99 arrived at Stafford. A second light engine running as 0Z99 went north from Stafford about two hours later.
