  • 1979 Taling Chan rail accident

    The accident occurred at dawn on 21 August 1979. A congested Ratchaburi-Thon Buri train (No.165, now 352) approached the intersection around Taling Chan Junction and was collided by a freight train from Bang Sue Junction to Padang Besar, due to having gone through a red signal. The freight train collided into the passenger train in the middle section and caused derailments for both trains. There were 51 deaths and 138 injured, the majority of the passengers being students and merchants coming for trade near Thon Buri Station. The accident was one of the most severe rail disasters in Thailand.
