On 13 October 2002, a steam passenger train carrying a wedding party collided with a B-double truck with a full load of flour on a railway level crossing near Benalla, Victoria.

The B-double truck did not give way at the level crossing. The truck driver stated he did not see the train until he was actually crossing the rail track. The train was so close that neither he nor the train crew could do anything to avoid or mitigate the collision. The event resulted in the derailment of the locomotive, power carriage and leading Bogie.

Three people died and another was injured as a result of the collision.
