With the worst being its derailment at the castle
Luckily no one was hurt and just a minor derailment that got moved by the next day

NSE hoover plus green coaches, interesting.

[@derekdee9592]

That’s a good video captured the event spot on, didn’t realise the 50 derailed ?

[@trainspottingladmidlands]

Thank you much appreciated
It was near the end of the day getting close to 7 was on the rear and as it came into the station it happened

[@milehighclassics]

My favourite engine since 1980s and I saw her at booths scrapyard moments from the cutting flame and now she threw a wheel oh god 40 years of worry in one day

[@trainspottingladmidlands]

As you saw we got the chance to see the 50 in action in the morning and it was amazing one off the reasons we actually went to the gala

Thank you

Got to be honest, I don't remember there being any 'Mayhem' at all?!!
I thought the volunteers dealt with it all rather efficiently, and the ORR didn't call for the railway's temporary closure.
This should tell us that this is considered a MINOR incident.
Just my opinion.🤨

[@trainspottingladmidlands]

That’s why we used mayhem (meaning disorder or chaos) and not disaster
They did have bad luck at the gala as well as all the great runnings but when it did go pair shaped they did not inform the paying public leaving them with no idea what’s happing for example the beer train cancellation
But I’m glad you had a great gala 👍🏻

[@RailFlicks]

'Mayhem' just seems way to strong a word to describe it in my opinion. Rewriting timetabled movements at short notice will not be easy or quick! Think it was all handled very professionally. Even the big grown up railway would struggle with this.​@@trainspottingladmidlands

[@stewartmarshall5853]

50s are a heavy loco it doesnt take much to spread a piece worn track

[@trainspottingladmidlands]

Most likely at least the 50 wasn’t damaged

[@RailroudHobby]

Great Video I Had Badluck Also On Friday Loco Failed On Line so My 1 Day Time Limit Could Not Do Much But Weather Was Great And Met great People Hopefully Next year betther Cheers

[@trainspottingladmidlands]

Yea they not had the best gala at all
At least the 50 derailed late afternoon for us so to to spoil the day

[@RailroudHobby]

[@PorcupinePig-d2r]

I heard the derailment was track error . Very lucky it was going slow I’d hate to think what the outcome would have been going fast

[@railfreightdrivergallagherGBRf]

The SR doesn't have the best of track condition really. One of the worst I've seen. Pales in comparison to several other preserved lines. ..and I've driven many of them as a guest. Hopefully they'll sort things out. JG.

Blue light bright

[@mikerobertson7435]

there was a picture from one of the local TV channels shoeing the left side of the track was very mangled. was the loco under power and was it heading north or south?

[@trainspottingladmidlands]

It was on tow right on the back almost coming to stop in the station when it happened

[@SSccaanniiaa]

11:38 Ouch! Thats gotta hurt! 😬

[@trainspottingladmidlands]

Definitely buddy lucky it wasn’t going fast

[@petersmith4455]

hi. i wonder if they have a crane to lift the 50 back on to the track, but why did it happen ?

[@trainspottingladmidlands]

They managed to get it back on track over night without a crane but as for reason it’s not been said but looks like track could be to blame

[@Mike-kc8rl]

The problem is the old rotten sleepers on so many of these heritage lines are just not up to it! The cost of replacement is beyond these light railways? It's not good for their future?
