Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Former railway crossing and crossing keeper's hut at Erw-fforch Railway crossings on the Dinorwig Quarry line were not manned until a double fatality at Bethel in January 1926 with a train pulling a run of eighty-seven loaders' wagons and a guard's box arranged on 22 large wagons swept a paraffin lorry half a mile down the track. The train driver Will Evans and his bother, Twm, who was the stocker, could see the slow moving lorry but were helpless to stop the train. The coroner recommended fixing gates on all level crossing and the employment of flagmen. The company also decided to employ an uniformed line policeman, mainly to catch kids playing on the line. |
