Image:Lyttelton accident of R 28.JPG

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On 23 March 1907, R 28 was operating the Boat Train between Christchurch and Lyttelton, New Zealand when it over-ran the stop-block on Lyttelton wharf. The driving frame, wheels, and engine fell into the water but as depicted in the picture, the rest of the locomotive stayed on the wharf.

Photograph taken by Albert Percy Godber. Under New Zealand law, copyright expires fifty years after the death of the photographer; Godber died in 1949 and thus the photograph entered the public domain in 1999. In any countries where copyright law may apply, this constitutes fair use on Wikipedia as it is an irreplaceable photograph of R 28's accident. It is also rare, as few images of the R class exist from this era.

Public domain This image from New Zealand is in the public domain both in New Zealand and in other countries adhering to international copyright treaties, because its author died more than 50 years ago. See the Copyright Act 1994.
