Id suggest that the Ararat accident also was not the fault of the
train crew ,or indeed of Freight Australia, but was the fault of a
totally unsafe safe working system.
Key locked points on a main line which can be moved whilst a train is
travelling towards them at full main line speed is hardly safe.
