Gen groups are reporting that it is DB Schenker 66 "James the engine" that is in trouble.

66048 & 2 wagons have rolled down an embankment near Carrbridge (between Aviemore & Inverness) on 4N47 Mossend to Inverness first DB Schenker Stobart intermodal.

I know we have at least one forum member working for DBS in that area. Hope all is well.

Swisstrains,

I imagine it may be me you are referring to, Thanks for the thought but I was not involved, I don't even know who the driver was but I believe it was a Mossend driver.

I to hope all is well with the crew as the pictures look horrendous.

Yes, good to hear that you are OK Les.
If the reports are accurate the crew appear to have escaped with minor injuries. Not a nice experience I'm sure.
