Elliot Junction rail accident
- Elliot Junction rail accident
The Elliot Junction rail accident occurred on 28 December 1906 between Arbroath railway station and Carnoustie railway station, with 22 fatalities.
A Dundee and Arbroath Railway train was standing at Elliot Junction during a blizzard when it was hit by a North British Railway train.
The Board of Trade Inquiry placed primary responsibility on the driver of one of the trains. It also discussed the role of alcohol and said that "the proximity of the Victoria Bar to the up platform is a very undesirable feature in the surroundings of the station. The substitution of a coffee shop and refreshment room would be greatly in the general interests of the staff".
