	Articles - Derailment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A derailment is an accident on a railway where a train comes off the rails, leading to injury, death and damage.
		There are several main causes of derailments, broken or misalligned rails, excessive speeds, and faults in the train and its wheels.
		Rerailing a train after it has derailled is not easy task, and often large rail mounted cranes have to be brought in to do the heavy work.

		A bridge line is a rail carrier tasked primarily with moving traffic from one major carrier to another (hence the "bridge" moniker).
		Bridge lines often were located between two major cities, connecting rail carriers that served those cities and interchanging their cars.
		As railroads have continued to evolve and large Class I railroads have sought to keep cars on line (as well as collect the revenues for the tonnage moved over their own route miles), most bridge lines are now gone.

		By the mid 1970s, all the 86s were in Rail Blue livery with aluminium BR double-arrows on each side, however in the late 1970s and early 1980s, several 86/2s were selected to receive names following the change in BR policy towards named locomotives.
		Two 86/2s were treated to a special livery to mark the 150th Anniversary of the Rainhill Trials in 1979; 86214 Sans Pareil and 86235 Novelty (both named after locomotives that took part in the original trials), were given large bodyside numbers and a full height emblem marking the event.
		The third loss to the fleet came in 1997 when 86239 L S Lowry was written off in the Stafford crash, however a number of locos began to be stored in the late 1990s as strategic reserves or unofficially as 'Christmas Trees' for spare parts.
