Train derailed at Cannons Marsh, Brisyol
 
A CrossCountry train has derailed in the yard blocking 4 other trains from leaving.

CrossCountry said a set of wheels had come off a train as it was being shunted, trapping four other trains in the depot at Barton Hill.

P.S. Sorry, Heading should read

Clearly the wheels had not come off the train – the wheels had come off the track.

A great film of a very slick re-railing operation. A great deal easier than in steam days with the steam crane and lots of timber baulks and wedges. (and lots of sweat and swearing)
