Episode 036: (Rail) Austrailan Granville Train Smash - a podcast by Andy & Michele Sargent

The Australian Granville Rail Smash occurred on Tuesday, January 18, 1977, at Granville, New South Wales, a western suburb of Sydney, when a crowded commuter train derailed, running into the supports of a road bridge that collapsed onto two of the train's passenger carriages. It remains the worst rail disaster in Australian history and the greatest loss of life in a confined area post-war: 84 people died, more than 213 were injured, and 1,300 were affected.

This episode of The Cornfield Meet: Transportation Disasters podcast is brought to you by Michele and Andy Sargent (aka Sargent Signals). Michele is a ham radio operator N8CSX and a self-professed disaster historian. Andy is N8ACJ and the residential railroad specialist.
