That video clip in very interesting, they seem to spend a lot of time looking at the worn flanges! Could that have been a contributory factor?

Swordscookie The report that Sharon links suggests that a fault in one of the wheels caused an axle to crack. Probably the one examined in the video.

Maryborough was still used in 1959? Oh, I see it's from the Irish Times. Maybe they had their own style manual which kept the old names. Interesting.

Interesting to see the little PWD inspection car of the day, possibly of GSWR/GSR origin. The derailed Sulzer loco No.B101 is just visible on the left.

Sugar and weedkiller is a dangerous cargo to mix. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_chlorate "Particularly when mixed with sugar it has explosive properties"

Maryborough indeed, my father who worked for CIE and did many runs on that line always called it that. He retired in 1959 and it may have been in common usage until about then. This is a great example of how things have changed in a relatively short space of time. A complete absence of PPE for the men, not even gloves. I think that virtually every man on the rail has a cap on with the exception of the man with the hat. There is an almost complete lack of automation there so it is going to be hard manual labour all the way. Weedkiller is noxious stuff now and was no different then but the drums are just pushed to one side and no notice is being taken of them. Very sad about the Inspector RIP.
