The Elliot Rail Disaster was one of the worst in the UK but remains largely forgotten.
The search is on for descendants of victims of a deadly rail crash which cast a dark shadow over Arbroath.
The accident happened on December 28 1906 when the Edinburgh-bound North British Express hit a stationary train at Elliot Junction station.
Thirteen people were killed instantly on the Caledonian Railway train but the death toll increased to 22 and the town’s drill hall was used as a temporary mortuary.
