SIXTY-FIVE PERSONS WERE INJURED when a train packed with returning holidaymakers collided with a loaded semi-trailer at a Sydney railway crossing. The 10 ton semitrailer and its load, a 14-ton earth scraper, were sliced in two by the train. The heavy scraper buckled steel plates on the engine, and pushed in the sides of four carriages and the guard’s van. Splintered wreckage of the trailer is piled near the rails.
