Accident on the Zig Zag, 1908

  Another view of the same accident.

  Read all about it - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/15002128?searchTerm=zig zag railway

• pellethepoet said:

  That's a great find beachcomberaustralia. What a detailed account! Lots of useful info in there. Something worth consideration - if the accident happened on Tuesday 8 December 1908 at 7pm, then the above photo could not possibly have been taken on that day as it is in daylight. The photo must have been taken during the cleanup the day after on Wednesday 9 December. The date on the photo will be referencing the date of the accident, not the date the photo was taken.

• beachcomber australia said:

  I was about to edit my post with just that point.! Yes, Trove really gives extra dimensions to these photos.

  Good observation about the daylight. We have changed the date to 9 December 1908
