Chinley signal box (BR, 1980)
Chinley signal box (BR, 1980) The 1980 BR (LMR) type 15 signal box at Chinley replaced a lovely Midland box located just to the east of this spot that was named Chinley North Junction. The location is probably best known for the accident that took place right opposite the box on 20.02.87 when 31440, hauling the IM34 16.22 Sheffield to Liverpool Lime Stree, hit the derailed 7A22 14.32 Peak Forest to Bletchley stone train, hauled by 47089 'Amazon' that had runaway and been derailed as it hit the junction points. The accident caused both locomotives to be withdrawn, 47089 being a home favourite of mine as a young spotter in the West Country during the 1970s, see..... https://www.ontheupfast.com/v/photos/21936chg/25311196604/nameplate-47089-up-pw-train-westbury Keywords: Chinley signal box
