The crash comes as the New Zealand rail industry marks Rail R U OK? Day today, with a focus on creating a more supportive environment for rail workers exposed to trauma on the job.
The initiative was founded by TrackSAFE Foundation, and chairman Bob Herbert said depression, anxiety and mental trauma are "very real issues impacting rail staff and first responders, and regular meaningful conversations can really help".
