ABOUT THIS IMAGE

TitleDerailment, goods train, Pomona Railway yards, Pomona, 30 September 1941Additional InformationA train which had been given the all clear to depart was delayed by the late arrival of goods. A farmer was desperate to have his goods put on the train to get them to market the following morning. The train attendant decided to hold the train so he could load the goods. The next scheduled train came around the corner, saw the other train still in the station but could not stop in time and ran into the rear of the stationary train causing the derailment of many wagons.
