Delivering Engineered Solutions The Tebay Problem “The wagon rolled straight over detonators put on the track to alert drivers to danger ahead and smashed straight through a stop board clipped across the line. But that was two miles away. The man went on: “It was too far for any of the lads to hear the bangs. They were working with their lights on, concentrating on their job.” [ Testimony by a colleague of the four rail workers killed by a runaway wagon at Tebay, Cumbria, UK on Sunday February 15 th 2004 ]
