"The 9.36 a.m. empty carriage train from Liverpool Street, running at a comparatively low speed on the down goods line, collided with the rear end of the 10.5 a.m. goods train from Temple Mills to Broxbourne, which had just started from the "draw-ahead " signal of Tottenham North signal box. I regret to report that [the guard] of the goods train was killed; the guard... of the empty carriage train was slightly injured."
