A mate of mine was a fireman on the steam trains, he was approaching Haltwhistle and saw a young couple leaning on the crossing gate, just as the train neared the crossing the couple walked out and stood on the line with their arms around each other.
Two 20 year old people were instantly wiped out.
My mate never went on the railway again, he finished up labouring around the engine sheds. Many years later and he is still on medication for it.
