The breakage of a defective coupling caused seventeen coaches and one brake van, containing about 450 passengers, of an excursion train to run backwards down the steep gradient between the stations, colliding with a following second portion of the excursion. 14 passengers were killed and 50 injured in the disaster. In the words of the Board of Trade accident inspector, Captain H. W. Tyler, it was at the time "decidedly the worst railway accident that has ever occurred in this country". == Circumstances of the accident == On 23 August 1858 the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway ran a special day excursion from Wolverhampton to Worcester and back. It was intended to be for school children only, but this ruling was not adhered to and the train was packed with children and adults alike. The train left Wolverhampton at 9.12 AM, comprising 42 four-wheeled coaches (none of which had any brakes) and four brake vans. Guard Cooke was in the rear brake van of the train, together with six passengers, who should not have been there. The atmosphere became somewhat convivial in the van, with the result that Cooke invited the passengers to have a go at working the van handbrake. This caused three separate breakages (at Brettell Lane, Hagley and Droitwich) of both the main screw couplings and side safety chains on the outward journey, requiring Cooke to make temporary repairs. To repair the first two breakages, Cooke managed to find spare three-link or screw couplings; but at Droitwich he was only able to patch up the side chains, which were not designed to hold the full weight of a train. The broken side chains were properly repaired while the train was waiting at Worcester to return, but the centre coupling was not. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Round Oak rail accident」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
