The Bloxburg 1995 accident

In 1995. It was a rainy day on the Bloxburg railways. Around the time Coolt and train boi were preparing LMS 16440 or now known as Bloxburg 1. train boi was shoveling in the coal for the day while Coolt was cleaning the regulator and brake. Until Coolt realized he accidentally pulled the regulator. Which Coolt than started to move, he pulled the brakes on and it happened. Mill accidentally broke the shovel and it went in the firebox, this than caused Bloxburg 1 to explode in the smoke box while 0-6-0 “darker” came out the shed and witnessed the accident. Boy the explosion was loud. It woke up some of the sleeping residents who than saw Bloxburg 1 pouring black smoke out. In the cab the fire rose and Coolt and train boi leaped out the cab. The fire blazed in the cab. When the accident started darker saw the incident and also he reported that he heard Coolt scream” train boi drop the fire now!” This caused Bloxburg railways to have Bloxburg 1 fixed up in the works. The rest. Is history. though there is footage of the incident but never released to the public. Some theorized it will be uploaded to YouTube in January.
