Leaves on the line!

With all the rain and bad weather in the area recently, Homestyal Light Railway was closed for the day whilst the emergency services attended an incident on the line just east of Homestyal Halt.

As the rains subsided, leaves descended upon a passing goods train.....

....and an emerging west bound passenger train!

Smoke was smouldering from under the carriage when the fire brigade arrived.

Survivors were removed from the scene as soon as possible...

....but unfortunately some weren't so lucky (being made of plastic!).
