Line 1 - Surname Rimron?
Line 2 - Cause of accident - bunker slide?
Line 6 - Cause of accident - Sheare trim?

Tim Lidbetter

line 2 - could be: part of the coal bunker that slides - perhaps a sliding door to the bunker?

line 6 - Shear pin would make sense but the first word dooesn't look like shear.

Scrumpy Geoff

I think it is shear pin from the way this person writes pin elsewhere

K.Armstrong

No 5 - cause of accident - Capstan rope surge?

Scrumpy Geoff
