An interesting photo today. This shows Backworth 16 after its meeting with J27 65812 in the snowy winter of 1963.
The Percy Main based J27 was heading over Earsdon crossing under clear signals when number 16 descending the bank with a train of full hoppers was unable to stop at the signal due to the snowy conditions. And collided with the BR train.
We will let you judge who came off best!
