Hi John,

It occured friday morning as I heard it over the scanner here in Adelaide. 
It was Trailerrail heading towards Melbourne I think. Three trailers caught 
fire carrying full gas cylinders and explosives. The other Trailerrail units 
were separated from the burning ones. The burning ones were pulled of the 
track and allowed to burn out. The frames in the units melted due to being 
aluminium. A 50km speed restriction was in place over Friday night.

Cheers,

Justin Cheary
