Sunshine rail disaster

Severe Australian train accident in April 1908

On 20 April 1908, at the junction at Sunshine railway station a Melbourne-bound train from Bendigo collided with the rear of a train from Ballarat. 44 people were killed and over 400 injured, almost all of them from the Ballarat train, as the Bendigo train was cushioned by its two locomotives.
