Derailment in Salford.

Hi all, going back to the class 47 derailment,and fire in Salford,has anyone heard how this loco set on fire,as this type of derailment does not cause a fire unless the diesel tank ruptured.
Also i see this incident was recorded as having happened at Windsor Bridge, Wilburn Street Bridge is no where near Windsor Bridge,this is the lanky,L& Y, this derailment was on the LNWR, i used to sit on a wall just a 100 yds from this derailment in my train spotting days,or at Ordsal lane carriage sidings.
Their used to be a large engineering works across from Wilburn Bridge does anyone remember the name,all i can remember is that it had Brown in the name.
