[edit] Image
There's an image of one of the Morpeth crashes here - http://www.todotren.com.ar/grandescatastrofes/morpeth.jpg - I think it is the 1984 crash.
- That would be a good image to include, do you know the copyright status? Thryduulf 23:03, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- Nope, which is why I chose not to upload it, but instead link to it from here. Sad :( --Tagishsimon (talk)
I used to live very near the piece of line in question and remember the 1984 crash. There weren't any fatalities, although I can see that that's hard to believe from the photographs.
One of the houses in the photograph was dammaged quite severely, but luckily the occupants were away.
I don't remember any crash occuring in 1977 and am almost certain there was no fatal crash.
Will edit article since original authors have not.
[edit] Rewrite
I've separated the 1969 and 1984 accidents out in a rewrite of this article, and expanded it a bit using information from the official reports. Goose 19:53, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- Some of these report links are dead, and they also don't have any hits on http://web.archive.org . Maybe someone should try to dig these up again. 202.172.106.195 00:46, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
