In a moment of boredom during lockdown I took to reading about Victorian railway disasters. Was suprised how many and how catastrophic they were. One occurred locally a couple of miles outside Norwich at a place called Whitlingham Junction killing around 20 passengers . I often walk the nearby marshes. The cause was signalling error on a stretch of single line resulting in a head on collision
Anyway I read that the driver and fireman of the mail train who were both killed in the collision were buried in a Norwich cemetery so I spent a an afternoon this week amongst the tombstones looking for their graves which I found.
I'm not turning into some sort of rail f enthusiast am I?
