One of a series of images credited to the LMR Mechanical & Electrical Engineers Department at Derby recording the aftermath of the collision on Singleton Bank (near Weeton) where a six-car DMU excursion struck the rear of a stationary ballast train on 16 July 1961. This is image 3, captioned "4th. diesel rail car M.51755. Leading End." The vehicle was the fourth car in the train, the partner to M51780. Clearly it is the rear end of the vehicle, 'leading end' in the caption probably refers to this end being the leading end at the time of the collision. It would be repaired and returned to traffic.
