News coverage of the 1984 derailment at Carlisle which prevented a major disaster. In the event not a single person was hurt, and the West Coast mainline was not affected.
Wait a minute ...... first the coupling comes apart .... yeah, okay .... but what happened to the automatic brake? Freightliner wagons weren't swingers and toxic chemicals weren't carried in unbraked wagons ..... That all seems to have been ignored. Also, how come the front portion never lost its brake either. Smacks of sabotage to me.

A miracle no one was hurt, thanks to the heroic actions of Signalman Bill Taylor.
