World War Two rail disaster.
Church bells have rung out to remember two men who died in a massive World War Two explosion while trying to save a town from destruction 75 years ago.

Yes, all drivers hope their trains don't get into difficulty, but it's something else when you look back down an ammunition train and see it's on fire.
I guess the March crew hadn't travelled very far as they'd only reached Soham. More info about the explosion on the Wonkypedia page...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soham_rail_disaster Last edited by Beeyar Wunby; 3rd June 2019 at 22:32. Reason: March was the traincrew depot in days of old
