The derailment occurred at the end of the Engine Dive.  Both the
Up and Down are closed for 100m either side of Redfern station
(platforms 1 and 2).

Looks like the train was entering the dive from the Central end and
there was a problem with the points.  The worst affected carriage is
leaning against the Dive wall (at an angle of about 30* from upright)
about 25m from the points.

On the main line (actually Up Bankstown?), about 20m of track has been
dislodged and one of the rails has actually been snapped.
