[1923] THE RECENT RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT BRUNNERTON. WESTLAND, SOUTH ISLAND: A VIEW SHOWING THE DERAILED CARRIAGE.


The suspension bridge across the Grey River still stands, having been restored a few years ago. It was originally used by tramway and road traffic and continued in the latter role for many years after the mines closed. These mines were the site of New Zealand's worst mining disaster.
