56062 lays on it's side at the foot of the embankment at Copyhold Junction. The loco and and it's train of empty Amey Roadstone hoppers returning from Ardingly to Haywards Heath passed the signal protecting the junction at danger. The loco and leading wagons were derailed on the catch points with 56062 ending up down the embankment.
It was a difficult site to the recover the locomotive and the steel pilling used to shore up the embankment can be seen to this day.
Photo taken 14/6/88, the accident was the day before.
