47119 Derailment at Kelbits, Ashton-in-Makerfield

47119 had arrived at Kelbits with 7M25 from Total Immingham at around 8.00. Apparently the previous days delivery was comprised of 12 Bitumen tanks as opposed to the normal 11 and the Springs Bank Driver had decided to pull out "the odd" empty car and then attach this to the loaded tanks before reversing into the siding. Unfortunately whilst reversing the loco derailed.
