RMweb Gold SHMD Posted May 7, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 7, 2014 I wonder if the witness is describing train protection, ie detonators, after the initial incident? All very sad for all concerned - yet again. Kev. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted May 7, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 7, 2014 No level crossing called "Ivy Lea" in the sectional appendix only "Rillington", "High Scrampston", "Low Scrampston" or "Knapton" so not sure which of the crossings the collision occurred at - very sad for all involved.

Boris Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Looks like another UWC accident, if it's where I think it is, it's a pretty straight section of line so the visibility isn't too bad. If what the witness says is correct about a second train approaching at the time we are incredibly lucky to be reading about one fatality and not a major accident involving two trains and a car.

Talltim Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Ivy Lea is the name of a farm in Scampston. From the photos of where the train ended up (travelling west) its looks like it was the crossing here https://www.google.co.uk/maps/search/low+more+YO17+8N/@54.1693461,-0.7009218,439m/data=!3m1!1e3 This appears to go to farm buildings in the middle of a former railway triangle where the line to Pickering left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might it be the farm crossing to the east of Rillington....? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted May 7, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 7, 2014 Thanks - I've found the entry now in a box labelled "other crossings in this area" Ivy Lea Farm UWC at 25m 72c Yes Beast - shown in Quail as 25m72ch which makes it 4m 60 ch east of Malton station and between Rillington AHB, on Low Moor Lane, and High Scampston AHB, on Outgang Road. Appears to be just an ordinary looking occupation/accommodation crossing with what look like field type gates. Photos suggest it has the standard signage although no sign of 'phones but they could easily be masked from the photographer by trees or other foliage. Regrettably the sort of incident which shows just how easily a collision can occur in what at first sight looks to be an innocuous location where users would be well familiar with procedures - I await the RAIB Report with interest.
