The site of NZ's worst rail disaster. This is about a ten minute drive from Ohakune towards Waiouru. Great information panels and very short walk to view the site where the train plunged into the lahar filled river.

The worst railway disaster in New Zealand's history occurred on Christmas Eve 1953 when the Wellington-Auckland night express plunged into the flooded Whangaehu River just west of Tangiwai, 8 km west of Waiouru. Of the 285 people on board, 151 were killed. The tragedy left a nation in mourning, and stunned the world.
