Don't know which loco/train was in incident but this is how it was
reported on Essex Fire and Rescue website.
Incident No: 24392
Date: 29-11-2007
Time: 01:40
Details: Chemical incident
Address: Freight Terminal, Tilbury Dock
Attendance: 2 x Orsett, 3 x Grays
Crews were mobilised to Tilbury Dock after a train cab was in
collision with a 10,000 litre tanker containing the chemical Pyridine.
Although the outer skin of the tanker was dented none of the chemical
appears to have leaked because the tanker is double skinned.
Crew remained in attendance until 03:35. They did not take any action
but did not leave until they were absolutely certain the tanker and
the site around it were safe.
I had this sent to me via E-mail.
