EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, the Derailing of the Flying Scotsman train is depicted, an unfortunate incident that took place near Chevington Junction, between Morpeth and Alnmouth in 1913. The image captures the aftermath of the mishap, with the tender and six bogey-carriages clearly visible as they have left the rails and tore up the permanent way. The scene is one of chaos and disbelief, as onlookers gather to assess the damage and tend to those affected. Despite the dramatic appearance of the derailment, it is important to note that the incident was ultimately a minor one. While some passengers were understandably shaken by the experience, only one required medical attention. The cause of the derailment is not known for certain, but it is believed that a point failure or a track defect may have been to blame. The Flying Scotsman was a popular express passenger train that ran between Edinburgh and London, and this accident was an unfortunate anomaly in its otherwise successful history. The train, which was not yet in service with the famous LNER (London and North Eastern Railway) at the time, was being moved from one location to another when the incident occurred. This photograph, taken by the Illustrated London News Ltd and sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a reminder of the risks and challenges involved in railway travel during this era. It is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of those who worked on the railways, as well as the determination of passengers to continue their journeys despite the occasional setbacks.
