08523 comes to grief at Inverness (8th Oct)

[Bodie]

Popping into the adjacent supermarket today, I chanced upon this sight.
08523 coupled to a sleeper carriage.
There we two men around the shunter at the time of the photo. Just before there were at least eight. That's what drew my attention.
The line is one leading into the shed. Worried at first it was blocking the triangle.

You can just make out in the picture what seemed to be the only part to derail. The leading driving wheel of the 08.

No wonder it derailed with all those containers piled on top of it.

Some good free advertising for a popular supermarket there!

Yeah, Morrisons would be pleased :P

I wonder which old fart was driving it at the time.

 

[SpacePhoenix]

Is there a set of points under it?

I wonder which old fart was driving it at the time.

Why would you assume it was an old fart driving it?

Is there a set of points under it?

Derailed on plain line.
