DETAILS

TitleTrain wreck at Narangba Railway Station on 9 June 1970DescriptionOne train ran into the rear of another stationary suburban train and two passengers died in the smash. There was time to give a warning to passengers to get out of the stationary train before the other ran into its rear. The smash again demonstrated the safety concerns about the use of the wooden bodied rollingstock then being used by the Queensland Railways (the old Evans carriages) although the wooden bodied carriages would not be completely withdrawn until 1986 on suburban services.Date9 June 1970PhotographerKlee, DudleyCollectorKlee, DudleyRecord typePhotographFormat typeDigitalOriginal format colourColour
