Afternoon all, now that i am home (my daughter put on the orriginal posting for me/us) mobile phones are very handy a lap top in the van would be even better. It would seem that the train 8.25 to Lavenderbay
may have gone thru a red as 7 bogies were in the dirt.
The poor driver in the down tangarra running alongside must have xxxx himself finishing up beside T 4206 which was in the dirt and probably lurching towards him.The passengers detrained and walked up to
Waverton. They then moved the Tangarra slowly past and out of the way.Hard to know what speed he came off but with 7 sets off one would have to think a bit fast even if he had the road to the down main.
