>From ABC newsradio at 1014 (AEDT); six confirmed dead.
More fatalities expected. Twenty seriously injured
(some critically) and others still trapped in the
wreckage. Last car (motorail?) of IP and first car of
the interurban derailed. Report said all other cars
were still on the rails. Another report said four cars
were off the line.
Interurban was thwe 0639 ex-Lithgow. Accident happened
as the four-car interurban was accelerating away from
Glenbrook station towards Lapstone.
An eye witness whose property backs on to the line
said (on the ABC) that the IP had stopped for some
reason and had "divided into two sections".
Both lines remain blocked.
Contact numbers for concerned friends/relatives:
Cityrail (02) 9379 1888 and GSR (132147).
I will leave it to others closer to the scene to take
the story from here.
