Beresfield Rail Collision, 1997 On 23 October 1997, a coal train collided into the rear of another coal train standing on the same track at Beresfield station in the Hunter Valley.

Concord West derailment, 1998 On 9 June 1998, a Tangara passenger train on a southbound movement in the early hours of the morning derailed between Concord West and North Strathfield stations ending up partially in a local street, and almost completely blocking all North and Southbound rail lines. The cause was excessive train speed by the driver as he passed over points switching the train to a relief line at mainline speed. It was found that the Driver had insufficient warning of the turnout due to previously radioed information and very close signals. The driver did not get a radio message he was going through on the main line he assumed he was because on some mornings it didn't do the rail clean. The lead car, D6114, was subsequently scrapped, though all other cars remained in service. Hornsby derailment, 1999 On 9 July 1999, four cars of an eight-car electric passenger train were derailed when it was incorrectly diverted into a siding, causing the train to hit a gravel embankment and become entangled in power lines.
