8170 managed to get two carriages re-railed on Monday night which were then 
stored under Bank St bridge. I didn't wait up for the 2:00am loco, so not 
sure whether it arrived or not.

The following evening 8017 arrived, collected the two stored carriages and 
by about midnight had the other two carriages back on the tracks. There was 
a bit of damage to the tracks and switching equipment and a work gang has 
been repairing damage for the last couple of days.

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.
