_The Evening Post_, 17 April 1925:
UNDER A LUCKY STAR
Some people are born under a lucky star. The express which left #Invercargill at 6.10 a.m. on Tuesday had a large complement of passengers, and the abrupt pulling up of the train at Mill road crossing, a short distance out of Invercargill, caused some consternation, states the “Otago Daily Times.” Windows were thrown up, and the passengers noticed in the dusk a bulky shape alongside the engine. A crowd soon gathered, and was much astonished to see a man arise from a motor-car and step on to the railway track, unhurt. Inquiries elicited the information that he had pulled up across the track earlier in the morning, and had gone to sleep. The impact of the train against his car made him realise that his place of rest was scarcely the most suitable. As the engine was jammed into the body of the motor-car, with the cow-catcher resting on the running board, it was found necessary to back the train. The car, which had been carried about 25 yards along the track, was then pushed to safety by a number of the passengers, and seemed little the worse for the collision. The train was able to proceed on its way after a delay of about 15 minutes
