@railroadlover. The train failed to slowed down.

I think you meant to ask 'Do you know what the engine was called?
Sorry, I would not be able to communicate with someone who mangles the language as you do.

Ive been to goswick, on holiday, theres now a golf course just towards the sea from there, and further along theres a camp site and about 3 houses

The locomotive was a Gresley A3 class called "Merry Hampton". Like almost all engines of this type it was named after a racehorse - in this case, the winner of the 1887 Derby. One of Merry Hampton's sister engines can still be seen today - the world-famous "Flying Scotsman" (which, unusually, is not named after a racehorse).

I wasnt saying the accident was cool, i was saying the photo was cool because its of his grandfather saving people, post didnt come out as I meant it to

If this is the accident I'm thinking of it happened on 26th Oct 1947, not 1948. An express train hauled by locomotive 66 "Merry Hampton" (the same type of engine as "Flying Scotsman") was diverted through a loop line because of engineering work. The engine crew had not read the printed notice warning them of the diversion and were distracted by an unauthorised person travelling in the cab with them. The train was travelling too fast for the poinst into the loop and derailed. 28 people died.
