Tasmanian Railways train derailment near Campania - 1916

            From Wikipedia -

Campania, 1916
On 15 February 1916 at approximately 4:00pm, a train driver and six passengers were killed and twenty nine seriously injured when the express from Launceston to Hobart, with 200 passengers on board, was derailed 3.2 km (2 miles) north of Campania. The engine jumped the rails, and dragged after it the three front carriages. The carriage nearest the engine was smashed to pieces.

The train was rounding a curve, but a fairly easy one, as compared to some of the curves higher up the line. According to the statements of passengers, the speed was not very great, and no one seems to have any idea how the accident occurred.
