These photographs, taken by The Advocate in June 1993, document the aftermath of an accident at the Anderson Road level crossing on the Bendigo Railway Line. A car became stuck on the tracks and was struck by a freight train, splitting the vehicle in two. The driver was taken to hospital with serious leg injuries and extensive bruising, and a second vehicle was also damaged in the collision. The images capture the scene immediately following the impact and the response efforts at the site, providing a visual record of an incident that later contributed to safety reviews and infrastructure upgrades along the corridor.Site of accident last night Anderson Road railway crossing 8th June 1993 238.3anderson road, sunshine level crossing, sunshine

This includes a coloured photograph of the Murrumbeena Road Level Crossing taken by Michael Clayton Jones, and a map of the train line and level crossing between Carnegie Station and Hughesdale Station. The article makes educated predictions based on VicRoads Studies of future implications on road traffic unless more level crossings are removed. In particular the Dandenong corridor and Murrumbeena Road crossings are identified as high priority on the list of potential crossings which may have to be removed. Additionally the article discusses options the government has in addressing the dilemma, and the opinion of a Carnegie pharmacist Gerald Galatis whose business is near the level crossing on Koornang Road.transport, railway crossing, koornang road, railways, level crossing, gates, trains, road crossing, transport establishments, signal boxes, murrumbeena railway station, dunbar r.p., murrumbeena road, carnegie station, railway lines, railway buildings, road traffic, galatis gerald, construction sites, poath road, neerim road, hermes studio

The level crossing is the old McKinnon Rd. level crossing right at Mckinnon Railway Station on the Melbourne-Franston line. It no longer exists as the level crossing was amongst the first to be removed in the State Govt. grade separation programme c 2015. The line now runs under Mckinnon Rd in a cutting that holds the new station as well. The folding metal lattice gates were the only ones of their kind in Victoria and fairly rare anywhere else in Australia as well.

Newspaper photograph - from the Melbourne Herald Sun Pictorial newspaper - 8/ 9/1928 about the derailment after running through the catch points of a maximum traction tramcar at the Riversdale Road level crossing the previous day 7/9/1928. The front bogie or truck has been torn from underneath the tramcar. A check with The Sun microfilm at the State Library shows the paper was published on 8/9/1928. Refer Item 1781. Note that the catch point on the down track has opened which caused the tram heading east to derail. Catch points were installed at tram tracks at rail crossings to deliberately derail a runaway tram when a train is approaching or is on the crossing. Occasionally the catch point does not close after the train has passed. Yields information about the amount of damage to the tram following a derailment to a maximum traction tram at Riversdale Road in 1928.Newspaper clipping from The Melbourne Herald Sun 8-9-1928 or another newspapertramways, tramcars, derailments, accidents, level crossings, riversdale road, tram 121, n class
