Overall Ratings

A touching and very interesting memorial near the state highway, to the horrific train crash that occurred on Christmas Eve 1953 when the Wellington-Auckland night express train came off a damaged railway bridge into the river. This was caused by a huge wall of water (lahar) from the nearby Mt Ruapehu volcano. 151 were killed.

It is hard to describe how one feels entering this site.To put yourself in that moment on Xmas eve 1953 when a huge wall of water from Mt Ruapehu ferociously washed away train carriages and its unsuspecting passengers. Reading the detailed information boards is sobering . On site there are toilets. RIP
