Yes, I suppose you could call it that.... even thought it was primarily a
diesel block fuel train, with some containers of ammonium nitrate, plus an
LPG tanker to keep it interesting.
The derailment occured just before midnight Thursday night, about 20-30k SE
of Mt Isa. No injuries, no major spills, no environmental concerns at this
stage..
It's going to foul up all my freight services next week, though......
