Comments about this page
The accident happened on a Saturday. The engine was going tender first and the three who died were on the footplate. Oxy acetylene cutting equipment was brought down from Joe Collies garage and my father, Ed Hart, worked with it to cut out the casualties. Afterwards he was given £8 to replace the suit which he had ruined while doing this work and bought a Harris tweed one which my mother hated.
