Granville Railway Disaster - 30 Years On

Whilst I have "only" been travelling on the Blue Mountains trains for 9 years, today's anniversary of the Granville Rail Disaster still rings home. At the platform this morning, there was a bunch of flowers on the platform obviously left in memory of someone. Apparently a number of the 83 killed were Glenbrook residents and some of their relatives still clearly live in the area.

In addition, a number of people that are still around today at Glenbrook were also involved in the Blue Mtns train that rear ended the Indian Pacific about 3 or so years ago.

So as a 'train blogger' from Glenbrook, I guess today's post is dedicated to those who have died going to work on State Rail...
