Now I noticed, only one engine is running!

British locos *do* have sanders, but they usually need to be turned on manually. Since a Western usually has extremely good traction (due to the three axles on each bogie being mechanically coupled) the sanders are not normally needed. But in this case, with one engine down, only one bogie received power and therefore only half the usual traction was available. A Western has two engines, each connected to it's own hydraulic transmission and each of those connected to just one bogie.

@alirobs2 Do English diesels have sanders? In the US all of our loco's have sanders with all but eliminate wheelslip on departure. Saves alot of money as far as rail head maintenance
-
Was an 8 year old school boy driving Western Champion for Jim ul fix it. A Jimmy Saville is there on the platform!

@abbymick 37 wouldnt have handeled that
-
Now then now then boys and girls did you like that? lol
-
Scary thing is, you can see the damage caused to the rail head once the trailing bogie has moved off. And that is some significant damage there as well.
-
Did they examine the portion of line before the next train was allowed through !!!. Network Rail NOT HAPPY with such rail damage by wheelslip. Also more common sense from the driver (if competent ???) to shut down immediately if experienced wheelslip.
-
does anybody know why it was running on one engine?
-
To my knowledge, Westerns don't have sanding equipment.
