About 12:45 the 10:00 am Dublin (Heuston)to Cork (Kent station) express train entered Buttevant Railway Station carrying some 230 bank holiday passengers. The train was diverted off the main down line across a set of 1:8 temporary facing points into a siding.
Although the locomotive remained upright in the siding, the older wooden framed carriages immediately behind the engine and generator van jack-knifed across the lines, with the two coaches and the dining car disintegrating under the enormous compression forces of the 60 mph crash. Two coaches and the dining car were totally demolished by the impact. Most of the Cravens coaches remained intact at the rear.
Eighteen Irish, British, Austrian and American passengers died and more than 70 people were injured.
