Sa Pereira rail disaster

A train crash in Sa Pereira in Santa Fe Province, Argentina on 25 February 1978 left 55 people dead.[1][2]

It is sometimes known as the "Estrella del Norte" accident, from the name of one of the trains involved.

This was the second worst rail disaster in the history of Argentina. (The worst was the Benavidez rail disaster, and the third worst was the 2012 Buenos Aires rail disaster). [3]
