Railway accident in Murulla, Australia

On 13 September 1926, the Sydney-bound Northern Mail collided with a runaway goods wagon near Murrurundi, in the Upper Hunter Valley and killed 26 people. A goods train had become divided and the attempts of the train crew to reunite the portions resulted in 12 vehicles running away down a steep gradient, and colliding with the approaching mail train.
