The Norton Bridge rail crash occurred on 16 October 2003 at Norton Bridge in the English county of Staffordshire. An intermodal train hauled by two Freightliner Class 86 locomotives collided with another stationary freight train, after passing a red signal. The cabs of the leading locomotive were badly damaged but the driver escaped with only minor injuries, although he had to be cut from the wreckage by the fire brigade.
