Passing Eastleigh this morning, it looked like the leading two wagons of a freight train in the yard north of the station had come slightly off the rails. Returning in the evening, the wagons that remained on the rails behind the derailed pair had been removed, but the leading wagon was still there behind what looked like three locomotives (two class 66s and a 69). The wagon was upright and didn't look visibly damaged, but certainly not on the tracks as it should have been. I thought I saw only one derailed wagon on the second occasion, so perhaps the second was easier to rerail.

Came here looking for a thread and couldn't find one. I did find this video from Dave's Rails & Roads which shows a little of the scene as it was in the morning:

Does anyone know more?
