Toton Derailment
Twenty-two wagons, most of which were loaded, ran away from a siding at Old Bank in Toton and travelled for half a mile towards the active line before the front four derailed.
A signaller working at the East Midlands Control Centre noticed the wagons - which were coupled together in what is known as a 'rake' - had passed a red signal and tripped an alarm.
They then passed a second red signal and some of the wagons derailed at the Toton south junction.
