Elephants from Wirth's Circus lined up at Wallangarra 1928

Simon Miller said:
This should be Wirth's Circus also Wallangarra was where the change of gauge between Queensland and NSW railways occurred so perhaps the elephants were waiting to change trains rather than as the result of an accident?

Simon Miller Thanks Simon for your detective work! We've updated the metadata here and in our catalogue. :)

Wirths' became Australia's pre-eminent circus, traveling around the country by rail and visiting New Zealand regularly. Posters proclaiming that the circus was 'Coming by special trains' created anticipation and excitement for country people. Watching elephants skilfully push and pull wagons from the railway siding to the circus site was a spectacle in itself. Wirths' Circus toured from 1880 until its demise in 1963.

That video clip in very interesting, they seem to spend a lot of time looking at the worn flanges! Could that have been a contributory factor?

Swordscookie The report that Sharon links suggests that a fault in one of the wheels caused an axle to crack. Probably the one examined in the video.
