From the Wikipedia article
The Browney train crash occurred near to the Browney signal box on the East Coast Main Line, County Durham, England on 5 January 1946. A southbound goods train split in two, with the rear portion accelerating downhill and crashing into the front portion of the train, which had been stopped by the signaller to inform the driver that the train was split into two. The wreckage of the goods train was then hit by an express train heading north from London King's Cross, killing ten people and seriously wounding 18 others.
