“What makes this accident so significant is that Hunt's southbound goods train was loaded with ammunition bound for the First World War battle zone. The major stroke of luck was that the 39 trucks loaded with ammunition did not explode as a result of the collision, and that there was no fire from cinders from either engine or from the stoves in the brake vans.”
