Shipping container blows off a freight train in Cumbria
Discussion
Saw this in the local news.
A shipping container blew off a freight train and into a field. It was spotted by a local who phoned Network Rail.
It was quite lucky that it blew off into a field rather than fall onto the other track, as that stretch of line carries high speed passenger trains.
As shocking as this seems, a quick Google reveals that it happens more than you would have thought!
