Bites the  * stone * dust at the terminal there, or  something to do
with new trackwork  installed yesterday?
I witnessed a class 25  do that at Guide Bridge years ago, spilt
ballast  got in the point blades and down it went all axles, tremendous
crash ,  rerailed  within a couple of hours though.

Incident happened before 1255 hrs. Locomotive 66192 derailed all wheels on 
No. 1053 points at Ashburys West Jn

It does seem that the loco was moving at 12mph at time of derailment.

BRUFF (Road/Rail Vehicle) on site since 1630.
