I've just heard that the Westbound IP, 3AP8 has run into a steel train
at Zanthus. The locomotive has left the rails.
Accident happened approx 1705 WST. First reports indicate that the crew
are shaken but OK, however there are casualties in the passenger cars.
The Royal Flying Doctor has been called, together with a request for 6
ambulances.
