At around 14:15 hrs on 24 October 2010 the guard of a demonstration freight train operating at Foxfield Colliery yard on the Foxfield Light Railway attempted to board the brake van of a slowly moving train.  He slipped from the foot step and was dragged a few metres before releasing his hold on a handrail and falling.  He suffered a fractured and dislocated shoulder.
