A Sad Story

It was in the late 60s at Goonbarrow ECC clay works the shunter a railwayman all his working life and coming up for reteirment i wont say his name.
He let a train of empties into the yard the train went up over the points

(and yes we all know how it should be done and we all know how it was done
no radios back then)

The driver stopped at the mark gave it a couple of minutes and then set back
the driver came into view of the works no shunter he stopped they all knew that something wasnt right they got off the loco and walked back and sure enough he was under the train.
He did that same move day in day out his mind must have been somewhere else that day and no one will ever know.

All involved that day have now sadly passed away.

ccmmick.
