| 1894-10-12 | The K. & P.R. took its first passengers from the O.A. & P.S. new station at the diamond junction on Friday morning last. | Mercury 1894-10-12(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...) | |
| 1906-12-14 | A G.T.R. freight train cut through the K. & P.R. mixed at the Junction. The evening G.T.R. express had gone past the Junction; the K. & P.R. mixed started to cross the diamond, and the G.T.R. freight, which had closely followed the express, dashed into it. The condition of the atmosphere had obscured the mixed from the GTR engineer's view, and the swinging of the K. & P.R. brakeman's lantern (meant for the K. & P.R. engineer) the G.T.R. engineer mistook for his signal to go ahead. His engine cut a K. & P.R. car clean in two and knocked down a little house by the side of the track. The G.T.R. engine was ditched and the tender thrown across the track. This was Friday night, and as the wrecking train was away up the line, it was Sunday afternoon before the line was clear for traffic. | Mercury 1906-12-14(Transcribed by Colin J.
