Hyde railway disaster
The Hyde railway disaster occurred on 4 June 1943 near the small settlement of Hyde, New Zealand on a bend of the Otago Central Railway. At the time, it was New Zealand's worst railway accident; of the 113 passengers on board, 21 were killed and a further 47 were injured. But just over ten years later, the Tangiwai disaster took 151 lives on 24 December 1953. The Hyde disaster remains as the second worst railway accident in New Zealand's history.
== Background ==
The Hyde disaster involved the daily passenger express train from Cromwell to Dunedin. In 1936, a year-round daily passenger express train was introduced, replacing a thrice weekly express that had been augmented by slow mixed trains. This service left Cromwell at 9am and reached Dunedin at 5:20pm; in 1937, the schedule was accelerated by half an hour and it was this timetable that was in force on 4 June 1943. The train was hauled by a steam locomotive, AB 782, and consisted of seven passenger carriages, a guard's van and two wagons of time-sensitive freight.〔J. A. Dangerfield and G. W. Emerson, ''Over the Garden Wall: Story of the Otago Central Railway'', third edition (Dunedin: Otago Railway and Locomotive Society, 1995), 42–3.〕 The day was a Friday and it was to be followed by the King's Birthday long weekend, and this boosted patronage to 113, with many passengers travelling to the Winter Show in Dunedin or horse races in Wingatui.〔Geoff Conly and Graham Stewart, ''New Zealand Tragedies on the Track: Tangiwai and Other Railway Accidents'', revised edition (Wellington: Grantham House, 1991 ()), 103.〕
Prior to the accident, some passengers became concerned about their safety. Regular travellers were aware that the train was travelling at excessive speed〔Emily Toxward, "Service Recalls Hyde Disaster", ''Otago Daily Times'' (5 June 1993).〕 and one who had moved from his seat to stand with friends in another carriage was forced to return to his seat as the movement of the train made it uncomfortable to stand.〔Mike Crean, "Premonition of Doom", ''Star Sunday'' (16 December 1990), Section 3: 1.〕 In the minutes immediately preceding the accident, luggage and parcels fell from racks above the seats.〔
