On 23 May 1989, a rail accident occurred at about 20:30 as the then rapid no. 38 (Chiang Mai-Bangkok) collided into the face of a mountain and derailed. The accident occurred between Pang Puai and Pha Khan railway stations. The train operator was instantly killed and mechanic and train conductor received minor injuries. All 8 carriages fell into the adjacent valley, causing 8 deaths, 32 serious injuries and 107 minor injuries. After inspection, the cause was identified as due to a braking system failure. The system was fixed at Nakhon Lampang station, but failed again near Mae Mo station. At the site of the accident, it was reported the speed was at 75 km/h when the speed limit was 45 km/h and the accident occurred following the application of an emergency brake.
