Ouch!

We're used to reading reports of cars getting onto railway lines and being hit by trains. Perhaps this might be an example of a train getting it's own back.

I have no further information about the incident. I assume the train overran a siding and went through the stop blocks. I just hope the bits of twisted metal under the locomotive aren't the remains of a road vehicle that got in the way.

That pic came up on the DEMU forum a while back, it was a freight that ran away on an Austrian mountain grade, it was routed into a dead end spur at the next station where it flattenned the stop block and ran onto the access road to the car park. The metal is some of the car park signage it picked up on the way through!
