Another view of the pile up of railway wagons at Abbey Street station on 18th November 1968

Another view of the pile up of railway wagons at Abbey Street station on 18th November 1968. The train's couplings broke and the train separated and as the first portion of the slowed at Abbey Street the rear portion caught up with it with the results we see here. One of the badly smashed up wagons contained shoes.
