Orfana rail disaster

1972 rail disaster in Greece

The Orfana rail disaster occurred on 16 January 1972 when, at around 16:45, a breakdown in communication between the corresponding stationmasters at Doxaras and Orfana caused an express train and a military relief train to collide in bad weather on the single track line. Twenty-one people died, and more than forty were injured in one of the deadliest rail accidents in Greece. Nikolaos Gekas, the stationmaster at Orfana, was later sentenced to five years for his part in the disaster.
