1-12 - Penmaenmawr, Caernarfonshire: Irish Mail train crash; There were six fatalities as a result of this collision which occurred when a train full of passengers returning from holidays in Ireland collided with another train at a speed of 70 mph near Penmaenmawr on 27 August. As a result of a signal error, a small engine was making its way towards Llandudno when the Irish Mail fast train was travelling in the same direction of the same line. A fireman on board the small engine heard the Irish Mail coming and signalled to the signal box with his lamp that a collision was imminent. The signal changed to red but it was too late. The passenger train crashed into one of the small engine's coal wagons, pushing it forwards for about 240 yards and tearing up the tracks as they moved forward. The force of the collision shattered the Irish Mail's sleeping car and five people inside were killed, while other carriages were derailed. - 1950
