Well, it didn’t explode. So it can probably be fixed.

What’s with the sheet over the drivers and rods?

That’s interesting,

Sandra told KentOnline this afternoon: "I could hear the whistle going and that is quite unusual so I walked into my garden to see what was going on.

"There is an unmanned crossing which I have seen the tractor using regularly today but the tractor wasn’t moving and the train was coming.

It rains a lot in England.

The article said the tractor driver collided with the train. Maybe the police put the sheet over the rods and drivers to preserve evidence. Just a thought.

The sheet is to protect the locomotive’s modesty. :wink:
