435:, and driver Johnson decided to stop on the viaduct for inspection and repair. While the train was stationary on the viaduct, the approaching 12.45 a.m. Wolverhampton (Oxley) to Birkenhead 47-wagon freight train crashed into the rear of the stationary Oswestry train after being previously signalled for clear passage on the viaduct. Some personnel on board the trains were injured: the Oswestry guard suffered injuries and burns, the Oswestry driver and Oxley guard were slightly injured, and the Oxley driver and fireman suffered from shock. The Oxley train's wheels and three wagons were derailed and damaged, five wagons of the Oswestry train were completely wrecked, and the guard's van and some other wagons of the Oswestry train caught fire. Before the accident, signalman Edwards of the Llangollen Junction signal box was contacted by Richards, signalman of Black Park, at 4.01 a.m. asking whether the Oswestry train had passed out of section. It had passed Black Park at 3.50 a.m. The usual journey time between Llangollen Junction and Black Park was nine minutes, and Richards was aware of the approaching Oxley train. Edwards did not reply to Richards, and assumed the Oswestry train had passed him and he had forgotten to clear it, so he signalled "Train out of Section" to Black Park. Richards immediately asked for "Line Clear" for the approaching Oxley train, which Edwards accepted at 4.02 a.m. After passing through a bend, the Oxley train travelled at 30–35 mph (48–56 km/h) down a slight gradient, when driver Hopkins saw the Oswestry train's tail lamps on the viaduct. Hopkins immediately cut off steam and applied the brakes, throwing on-board guard Williams to the floor, but he was unable to stop the train fully; it was still moving at about 10 mph (16 km/h) when it crashed into the Oswestry train. 1134: 388: 306: 421: 59: 296:
