1997 collision

On 23 October 1997, Beresfield was the site of a major rail accident, when a FreightCorp coal train passed a red signal and collided with the rear of another coal train standing on the same track. Six people were injured, including the station master and a passenger who jumped from the platform moments before the collision. The crash resulted in dozens of coal wagons tumbling over the platform and across the tracks, blocking all four tracks and destroying most of the station.[2][3][4] Three 82 class locomotives were destroyed.[5]

In 2002, Beresfield was fully redeveloped, receiving new easy-access facilities, station signage and booking office.Шаблон:Citation needed
