Cow on track le hamburger yes. Derailment "extremely unlikely" . . . hmmm.
Cows have big bones. And how did a cow get on the track? what else could?

As a matter of fact I did do physics. Something traveeling fast with only a
couple of centimetres of flange doesnt need m
uch of a hit to go off.

I remind you that the bridge derailment happened after a train hit a car
that had fallen off it. That could happen anywhere, wheter track is
conventional or not.

and that doesnt change the fact that Australia's track is highly
conventional.
