(WA) Paraburdoo Derailment



Apparently it happened around 4.00am this morning.
Approx. 40 wagons in a large pile even a couple onto the road.  The 2-9
locos are sitting at an angle of 30 degrees down the embankment.
The accident happened at the points into the yards when an MT train came
into the yard.  A fully loaded train with two bankers are locked in the
yard/loadout area.  That means there are 6 locos out of traffic until the
mess is sorted out.
This is not the first time there has been an accident of this nature at the
same set of points.
This report came via Mulgawire
