Railway Accidents – 1960s
This model train set blog looks at a variety of topics of interest to model railroaders and train enthusiasts.
Model railroaders can get frustrated with derailments and accidents that happen with model train sets. Sadly, real train accidents are far more serious and cause tragedy and mayhem.
These are two of the more serious train accidents from the 1960’s:
May 3, 1962
160 people were killed in a three-train collision north of Tokyo.
November 9, 1963
Another train crash in Japan kills 161 people. It involved a freight train and two passenger trains in Tsurumi, outside Tokyo.
