Anne wrote (October 2007) " ...a railway accident on the 11th March, 1959 at Ruspidge, the engine driver was William G. McOwan (he is second from the left) and first on the left of the picture is the fireman H. Trigg. My grandfather, W. G. McOwan said the car came quickly down the hill, stopped on the track and he always remembered how the driver got out of the car and calmly shut the door before leaving the track, seemingly unworried about the oncoming steam engine".

Peter Essex added (October 2007): "This is horribly reminiscent of an incident at Lydney Town level crossing at roughly the same time, in which my grandfather William Frank Essex, driving a Standard Vanguard owned by my uncle Sidney Essex (then of Bathurst Park, Lydney), suffered a heart attack as he proceeded from the car park on the far side of Hill Street from Lydney Town station. The story goes that he flew across Hill Street and embedded the car in the footings of the station footbridge with wheels spinning, whereupon the heroic signalman flew down from his box and switched the engine off before anyone could be cremated on the spot. If anyone remembers that (other than my cousin David who has already contributed his recollection) do let's hear about it. I had no idea that Ruspidge had seen a similar incident".
