The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) today released its findings into the incident on the evening of 19 October 2023.
A five-wagon freight train carrying cement powder from Lancashire to Scotland derailed near Petteril Bridge junction in Carlisle.
These wheels had stopped rotating up to 55 miles before the derailment and continued to slide along the railhead causing considerable damage to the profile of the wheel treads. The ninth tank wagon was ruptured and landed upside down in the river, although very little of the cement powder was spilt.
