Seems there was a Freight train derailment at Lewisham with at least 3 bogie hoppers off.

Location looks difficult for a road mobile.

Any ideas as to where and when 62048 had this incident?
Visit to works after collision in 1963 is on BR Database..
I suspect a York area crane involved.

A similar task was carried out on the NYMR in the 80's I believe using the 45 ton Ransomes at Newbridge.
That was a Deltic re engine as well.

This comment has been posted on On Track Plant today :-

They're still banned from use as far as I am aware. I have heard it is due to working at height safety regulations?
