I've added another picture (13a) - a larger piece of rail can be seen
nadI did overhear to SRA "officials" commenting about the broken
pieces lying between the tercks ... "See, look, he's dragged
(something something something). That must've happened when ...."

Also added additional picture (15a) indicating catch points and
signalling (meant to do that in the firts place but forgot ... DOH!!)

At a guess, it's either been a SPAD, faulty signals with catch point
open or faulty catch points.
