Chelford rail accident

1894 railway accident in Cheshire, England

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 into a siding in strong winds and rapidly fading light. As another six wagons were being run onto an adjoining track, the stationmaster saw the high-sided wagon being blown out of its siding by the wind to meet them.
