EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway (RHDR). Taken around 1927, it showcases the aftermath of a dramatic derailment at West Hythe. The locomotive involved is none other than No. 7 "Typhoon" which now lies on its side near the Prince of Wales Bridge. The cause of this unfortunate incident can be traced back to a collision with a tractor on the level crossing in 1947. The sheer impact and force are evident as we witness the mighty steam engine toppled over, surrounded by scattered debris. It serves as a stark reminder of both the power and vulnerability that coexist within railway operations. Preserved within the Ronald Shephard Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph offers us an intriguing glimpse into railway accidents from yesteryears. Despite being captured on narrow gauge tracks measuring only 15 inches, it highlights how even seemingly minor incidents could have far-reaching consequences. As we delve into this historical image, let's appreciate not just its visual appeal but also acknowledge its significance in documenting past events. However, it's important to note that any commercial use or reproduction without proper authorization is strictly prohibited. In summary, this evocative print immortalizes an unforgettable moment when No. 7 "Typhoon" met with misfortune at West Hythe station due to an unfortunate collision with a tractor on a level crossing back in 1947 – forever etched in RHDR's
