| Description |
On August 19 1965 Mr G Reynolds was killed when the car he was driving collided with a stationary train at the Harvey Street level crossing in Omakau. The train was in the process of changing engines when at 10.35pm Mr Reynolds car drove into the 3rd carriage of the train. The lighting at the level crossing had been fair and signage was in place for the level crossing. The image shown here is from a New Zealand Railway’s Department file. The file is from a series related specifically to railways accidents. Archives New Zealand reference: ADQD 17462 W2559 R5W2559 8 301/3051 For further enquiries please email research.archives@dia.govt.nz August 15 to August 21 2016 is Rail Safety Week. Rail Safety Week is an annual Australasian-wide initiative where rail operators and other organisations across New Zealand and Australia come together to raise awareness about rail safety and encourage safe behaviour around trains and tracks. This year’s theme is 'Expect Trains' which aims to address complacency and distraction. For Rail Safety Week, Archives New Zealand is highlighting a selection of items that share the messages promoted by Rail Safety Week – such as making sure you cross tracks at appropriate times and places when permitted to do so. The images selected include promotional material from the 1980’s to get the message across to children regarding the dangers trains pose and an image from the 1950’s where NZ Rail considered changing the colour of trains to make them more visible.
