The official inquiry found the Bendigo train passed a signal at danger, likely due to brake failure, and could not stop in time. This accident led to major reforms in Victorian railway safety, including: - Stronger steel‑framed carriages. - Improved braking systems. - Better signalling and traffic control. - The disaster remains a defining moment in Sunshine’s early 20th‑century history.

The company expanded into Melbourne with a showroom located in Queen Street, Melbourne. The North Sunshine factory on McIntyre Road opened in 1927 producing glazed terracotta tiles, faience cladding, and later asbestos‑based products including Durabestos sheets and pipes. In 1969, CSR purchased Wunderlich. In 1977 CSR sold the Sunshine site to James Hardie. The factory closed down in 1983. The site was then redeveloped into the Westend Market Hotel and Dan Murphy’s. In the mid‑2010s, a cluster of mesothelioma cases among North Sunshine residents was linked to historical asbestos exposure from the factory.The Sunshine Wunderlich factory was one of Melbourne’s major interwar industrial employers. It contributed to Sunshine’s identity as a manufacturing hub alongside the H.V. McKay / Massey Ferguson Sunshine Harvester Works. This small book records only a very small number of employees who worked at the factory. The list was put together by former Wunderlich employee Walter "Wally" O'Brien.Front - T/Cotta Wunderlich Staff 1st Page Don Forte, Silvio, Tich Johnon, Sebastian Granata, Fred Willaton, Jack Lewis, George Griggs (Greigs), Ben George Simon, Whisky (Not Wally), Priot Albert Willaton (Son of Fred), Albert Elllingson (Killed on train disaster is his Grand Father)wunderlich, mcintyre road, sunshine north -

In 1904 H. V. McKay purchased the Braybrook Implement Works nearby, and in 1906 he moved his Sunshine Harvester Works agricultural machinery business from Ballarat to Braybrook Junction. In 1907 the station and township were renamed Sunshine after the Sunshine Harvester Works. On 20 April 1908 (Easter Monday), Sunshine station was the scene of the biggest train disaster in Victoria, when 44 people were killed and 400 injured from the 1100 people that were aboard the two trains. A Melbourne bound train from Bendigo collided with the rear of a train from Ballarat. There is a memorial plaque on platform 1 at the present Sunshine station. Sunshine station has recently been undergoing a complete rebuild. On 20 January 2014 the station, although not yet completed, was opened for train use, after being closed for several weeks.This photograph is significant because it is a reminder that the present Sunshine station and the nearby area were once named Braybrook Junction. It also shows what the Station, the Signal Box, and the station personnel looked like in circa 1905.BRAYBROOK JUNCTNbraybrook junction station, railway, sunshine, train, transport, 1905, 1907, 1908, 7 september 1885 -
