AUTHORS NOTE

Refer articles in the Bunbury Herald and Blackwood Express of Tuesday 9 November 1920, detailing the Wokalup Timber Train Disaster on 6 November 1920.

Lloyd Morey was aboard  the fully loaded Timber train, with tinker and 28 trucks , when it suffered braking problems and left the tracks at high speed near Wokalup at 9.20p.m..

Morey survived the horrific derailment, however was thrown from the train and suffered a broken leg.  Nine fellow workers were killed in the incident, with the driver Clarence Cook surviving also, although suffering a badly broken leg.

Two other men, John Flynn and Chris Wilton escaped uninjured, as they were aboard the final truck of 2 trucks, that did not derail in the crash.
