Passengers travelling through Haymarket Station on the evening of July 28, 1924, would have expected a dull commute home from the city.
What happened was a devastating crash, which killed five passengers and injured a further 54 people. Two packed services smashed into each other, leading to the arrest of one engine driver.
One train, approaching from Waverley, crashed into the rear of a stationary suburban train. Two carriages of the latter were telescoped and completely wrecked.
