A review of the Hixon railway disaster of 1968 where an express train collided with a low-loader at a new automatic half-barrier level crossing. This book looks at the accident, the introduction of the new level crossings and at the attempts by British Railways and the Railway Inspectorate to cover up a number of other accidents and near-misses involving this type of crossing. Illustrated with 16 pages of photographs.
