Had a look this evening around 8:30pm. Rerailing operations were just getting underway. 3 carriages have all bogies off the track, the last carriage has one bogie off.

8170 arrived at around 8:50pm from Hornsby. It was going to shunt onto the siding to drag the carriages back on to the track later tonight. Overheard the guys in charge of the rescue operation that another loco
is scheduled to arrive at Lindfield at 2:00am  to assist in the recovery.
