Derailed class 110 unit at Sheffield

Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company, Class 110, E51830 on the centre siding, under the Nunnery tunnels at the north end of Sheffield station after derailing.

 

The photo is timed as 14:10hrs and dated as the 30th of April 1988

 

I can't for the life of me remember what happened, I have a vague recollection that this was a three car unit and the other two cars were removed but this one couldn't be removed because of the damage to the unit and track but as for the full details i just can't remember but i'm trying to find out.

 

As you can see the track underneath is severely buckled and the rear axle of the unit has been packed to hold it upright.
