8:33 Hyde Train Disaster 70 years ago
Rail Tragedy at Hyde: On 4 June 1943 the Cromwell to Dunedin express was heading along the Otago Central railway with 131 passengers, most bound for the Dunedin winter show. The train was travelling at high speed – it turned out that the driver was drunk. Near the township of Hyde, the train approached a sharp corner at about 112 kilometres an hour instead of the recommended 48. The engine rolled and all seven carriages were derailed, the first four piling into each other. Many passengers were thrown out, but others were trapped in the wreckage. Twenty-one people were killed, and many others were injured. The driver was later convicted of manslaughter. Survivor Jack Wilson recalls the event.
