XPT hits truck

This news would now be a little late, but we've had the electricity out
for much of the afternoon in Orange, and my computer is just back up.

Today's Dubbo-bound XPT hit a truck at the Spring Hill level crossing
(you left a couple of days too soon for all the local excitement, Chris
Stratton!) just before noon, and derailed the leading power car.  The
truck driver and two passengers were slightly injured, one side of the
pointy front of the XP was smashed off / crushed in, but damage didn't
look too extensive.
