Chelford rail accident
The Chelford rail accident occurred on 22 December 1894 at Chelford railway station. The stationmaster was supervising shunting operations, during which a high-sided wagon was fly-shunted (i.e. run-off) into a siding in strong winds and rapidly fading light. As another six wagons were being run onto an adjoining road, the stationmaster saw the high-sided wagon being blown out of its siding by the wind to meet them. A collision occurred derailing the runaway in such a way that it fouled the main line just as the 16:15 Manchester to Crewe express approached, drawn by two locomotives, LNWR Waterloo Class 2-4-0 No 418 ''Zygia'' and Experiment Class No 518 ''Express''.〔

''Zygia'' derailed and fell on her side whilst her tender ran up the platform ramp. ''Express'' remained upright but the first carriage demolished the front of a signalbox. In all, 14 passengers were killed and 48 injured.
The enquiry had little comment to make as this seemed to be a freak accident but advised that, in future, the brakes of all shunted wagons should be immediately pinned down.
