One to watch on catch up. I first read about this in the superb Red For Danger by LTC Rolt - a classic and fabulous book.

A book I read as a youngster and then revisited a few years ago. Not only hugely informative as to the background and causes of some major rail disasters but brilliantly and moving written. Well worth a read.
