Train mounts platform in Seaford accident
DURING shunting operations on Tuesday night last, when a train of over 1000 tons weight was being manoeuvred, an accident occurred, resulting in a loaded 10 ton truck leaving the rails and mounting the platform.
At the time the staff was working at full pressure in order to clear the “down” road for the passenger train.
Owing to the darkness, and the curve in the road, great difficulty was experienced in signalling the crew.
A train of this weight acquires very great momentum, and a driver requires ample time in which to pull his train up but owing to the conditions prevailing at the time, sufficient warning evidently could not reach the crew.

EMMETT, Idaho 7-year-old Pete Goers of Emmett had a difficult start in life. When he was born, he had to undergo his first brain surgery within 24 hours.
His official diagnosis is Rhombencephalosynapsis (RES), which has caused hydrocephalus and global developmental delays.
“We knew when I was pregnant that there were going to be problems. We had a 19-week scan that showed severe hydrocephalus,” Pete’s mother Lara Goers said. “We didn t know what to expect, but what he has done so far has already beat the expectations of what was laid before us.”
