2003, Broadmeadows run away train crash at Spencer Street station (southern cross).
Comeng 394M ran from Broadmeadows to Spencer Street (17km) with no driver or passengers inside before colliding with the N Class locomotive N463 vline passenger train bound for Bacchus Marsh, it was travelling at 75km/h at the time of impact.
The train got away at Broadmeadows bc the driver stopped by the toilet whilst swapping ends but had not activated the air brake. Wind and a slight incline in the tracks were enough to get the train rolling.
Comeng 394M surprisingly went back into service until 2022.
N463 is still in service today!!
