== Accident ==
On the 18th, May 1947 Single Line Working (SLW) was in operation over the Down line between Lambrigg and Oxenholme No. 2 (hauled by LMS 2P No. 565) with the Up line blocked for track work. The Carlisle driver of a Glasgow – Euston express (hauled by 6235) failed to notice the Up distant signal at caution, passed the home signal at danger whilst braking and collided with a light locomotive at approximately 25 – 30 mph. on Docker Viaduct. The loco. was positioned correctly to assist heavy trains to reverse through the crossover, on the 1 in 106 gradient, to gain the Down line for SLW. There were 33 non-serious injuries.
