On Christmas Eve, 1953, as preparations in New Zealand to celebrate a Christmas graced by the presence of Her Majesty the Queen in Auckland were approaching their climax, a railway disaster shocked the Dominion and the world. The story of that tragic event and the heroism displayed by men and women involved in it are reconstructed in this programme.
