 This gross overloading led to an event in the autumn of 1863, when a train of 70 wagons broke in two near Shakemantle.On discovering the shortage, the driver stopped below Shakemantle siding, whereupon the 30 truant wagons ran into the train, creating a confusion of wreckage which took five days to clear.It also led to the limiting of trains to 45 wagons and the employment of a third locomotive, so that four trains a day could be worked down.
