Yallourn Open Cut, Interconnecting Railway between Yallourn and Morwell
When I was a young apprentice working down the Yallourn Open Cut, I was told the story about this photo. Apparently it was a foggy night late 60's - early 70's, when the Loco on the right stopped for a red light.
The Loco on the left came through and ploughed into the stationary Loco sending its trucks up and over the stationary Loco (Lucky Number 113).
I was told that the emergency trip stop failed on the track and the driver was very lucky not to have been killed as the Electrical Overhead lines are 10,000 volts DC.
