Falls of Cruachan Derailment (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Falls of Cruachan derailment occurred on 6 June 2010 on the West Highland Line in Scotland, when a passenger train travelling between Glasgow and Oban derailed near Falls of Cruachan railway station, after a suspected landslide. The two-car diesel multiple unit caught fire and one carriage was left in a precarious position on the 50-foot high embankment. Sixty passengers were evacuated, some with minor injures; eight of those were hospitalised as a precaution. In addition to blocking the line, the incident also caused the closure of the A85 road below the rail line. Both road and rail were closed for a week.
