This list is of railway accidents in New Zealand sorted chronologically. ==2010 – present== *21 September 2015, Paraparaumu - 11:30am Disabled man in a wheelchair rolled in front of a freight train stopping services until 2:30pm.

Two passengers are hospitalised for minor injuries and shock. This incident should not be confused with the almost identical incident at the same station on 15 April 2013 (below). *2 March 2014, Otahuhu - An empty southbound passenger train returning to Westfield Depot derailed near Westfield junction just before 2am. The DC locomotive and first SA carriage left the track, with the locomotive coming to rest on its side and the carriage remaining upright.

An investigation is pending, but KiwiRail suspects that the incident was due to a mechanical fault.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Train disaster was like a movie scene )〕 * 20 May 2013, Kaiwharawhara, Wellington – The rear car of a morning southbound commuter train derails just south of Kaiwharawhara station. A spring park brake cylinder had been left insecure when the train was serviced ten weeks earlier; the cylinder came off the car and jackknifed the nearby air reservoir tanks, pushing the car off the rails and punching a hole in the carriage floor. Four passengers suffer minor injuries.〔http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/8693203/Wellington-trains-back-in-action-after-derailment〕 *15 April 2013, Melling, Lower Hutt - at approximately 7.54 am, the two-car "Matangi" FP/FT 4149 fails to stop and collides with the stop block at Melling station at a speed of approximately 25 km/h. Nine passengers and two crew were on board. The Kiwirail investigation determined that driver error was the cause.〔http://www.kiwirail.co.nz/uploads/Publications/April%202013%20Melling%20Collision%20Website%20Summary.pdf〕 This incident should not be confused with the almost identical incident at the same station on 27 May 2014 (above). * 31 October 2011, Paekakariki, Wellington – A 12.6-metre-long three-axle low-floor bus becomes stuck on the Beach Road level crossing waiting at a stop sign to turn right onto State Highway 1, and is hit by a southbound freight train. No injuries were reported. The accident was caused by the bus stopping in a position where its single driving axle was off the ground above a drain, combined with an insufficient 'stacking distance' between the level crossing and State Highway 1, meaning any vehicle over 10 metres long could not stop without either encroaching the railway line or the State Highway.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Investigation 11-104, Freight Train 261 collision with bus, Beach Road level crossing, Paekakariki, 31 October 2011 )〕 *21 June 2011, Kaikoura, Marlborough – A northbound Main North Line express freight between Christchurch and Picton derails after hitting a slip just south of Kaikoura. Both locomotives and several wagons are damaged. The lead locomotive DFT 7117 is extensively damaged with the trailing locomotive DQ6376 suffering moderate damage. The locomotive engineer escaped with minor injuries. *1 February 2011, Ngaio, Wellington, At about 1 pm a Johnsonville bound suburban multiple electric unit derailed at the passing loop switch when leaving Ngaio station and ran off through a barrier fence, stopping about a metres into the station carpark. Although no one was injured, about 16 passengers were kept on board the train for around 20 minutes until the overhead electricity could be turned off, so they could disembark and continue on their journey by replacement bus. Services were replaced by buses for the afternoon but were restored by 7 pm. A crane was used to rerail the train. KiwiRail intended to investigate the cause of the derailment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wellington Derailment )〕 *12 January 2010, Flint Road level crossing, Stratford – About 9:15 am a New Plymouth bound freight train collides with a utility vehicle at a level crossing only controlled by stop signs, killing one person and seriously injuring two others in the vehicle. This was the fifth crash, and second fatality, at this crossing since 1992. Local residents considered the crossing was an accident waiting to happen because it was close to the highway, had limited visibility and many drivers did not stop for the crossing. They felt that barrier arms were needed. At the time of the crash, KiwiRail had been intending to install flashing lights at the crossing within the next two years, as the crossing was high on the priority list to be upgraded. *30 September 2010, Plimmerton, Wellington – A mid-afternoon northbound Wellington to Paraparaumu electric multiple unit hits a landslide on the line and derails into the path of a southbound Paraparaumu to Wellington multiple unit; two injured. The two heavily damaged components of the Ganz-Mavag units are withdrawn from service and the undamaged components are marshalled together as a new set. *10 July 2010, Wellington – Morning passenger services suspended after two trains bring down overhead lines. About 10,000 passengers affected. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of rail accidents in New Zealand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
