<p>The sons of a train driver killed in the Selby rail crash have paid tribute to their father on the 10th anniversary of the disaster.</p>
<p>Steve Dunn, 39, had &#8220;died doing the job he considered a paid hobby&#8221;, said his sons Andrew, now 22, and James, 19.</p>
<p>In a statement also signed by Mr Dunn&#8217;s widow, Mary, the family members said they had &#8220;made an effort to rebuild our lives&#8221; since the crash in North Yorkshire on February 28, 2001.</p>
<p>Speaking ahead of a memorial service to mark the anniversary, the Dunn family said both boys are working full time and are happy and they thanked &#8220;everyone who has helped us through the past decade&#8221;, including British Transport Police and rail companies.</p>
<p>They added: &#8220;There are also many individuals who have supported and helped us in many various ways. They know who they are. Today we will be thinking of Steve, the husband and daddy, who died doing the job he considered a paid hobby.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Dunn was the driver of a Freightliner freight train which struck a partly-derailed Great North Eastern Railway (GNER) train on the East Coast Main Line at Great Heck, near Selby.</p>
<p>The London-bound GNER train, whose driver John Weddle was also killed, had first struck a Land Rover which had careered off the M62 and crashed on to the track.</p>
<p>The accident also claimed the lives of two other GNER staff and six passengers. More than 80 other passengers were injured.</p>
<p>The Land Rover was driven by Gary Hart, who was unable to move his vehicle off the tracks and was calling the emergency services when the crash happened. Hart was later found guilty of 10 charges of causing death by dangerous driving.</p>
<p>The memorial service, which is due to be attended by relatives, survivors and rail staff, is at St Paul&#8217;s Church in Hensall, near Selby.</p>
