This book describes a number of railway accidents, yet is uplifting because it highlights the work of the railway inspectors whose quest was to avoid any repetition of each disaster. This has resulted in rail travel in Britain being one of the safest ways to travel.
There were many causes of accidents in the earlier days of railways, including lack of signal interlocking, excessive speed, lack of look-outs during track maintenance, poor visibility of signals during fog and snow, minor locomotive design flaws, signalmen forgetting about trains standing in their section and dangerous practices such as screwing down the safety valves of locomotives.
Covering almost 50 of the most important railway accidents, each one is illustrated with a map to demonstrate the type of incident.
Hardback.
