Accidents/incidents on the railway

66057 through the buffer stop and in the dirt at the end of the bankers spur , Bromsgrove.  Ex-works 66175 was attempting to haul the offending loco back around 15.30 , still trying at 16.00 !!

I believe it may have clipped a cross country 170 as well

Yes 170107. seems to have scrapped right along the side of it causing a bit of damage.

On a closer look at the photo I took on my mobile phone , 66057 looks to have slight damage to the rear drivers side cab pillar as well as a cracked windscreen. I would assume that by the time I saw the incident that 66057 had been slewed back over to get it in line with the tracks of the spur.

It seems that the bridge over the river Blyth for the Coleshill-Nuneaton line got damaged today. I'd guess through weathering, as there's no roads near to it.
