NR86 found a large hole just on the wrong side of a red signal at the
LPC. The derailment (all wheels) blocked access to North Dynon SG but
didn't foul Sg access to Spencer Street and NRCs yards. (If you are
going to derail, just make sure you block the competitions trains and
not your own ;-).) Caution Orders were required because of signal
wiring damage.

Austrac (X45+4836 and about 20 boxes on about 30 wagons) arrived by
running into NRCs MFT yard (South Dynon) and the North Dynon Pilot (2
x G class) attaching to the rear and hauling it around the triangle.

Just another eccentric crank.
