Yes, a very sad incident. The fire reported to have started in the HEP generator car for train air con etc. The line appears to be electrified, and I wonder if the incident would have been so deadly if an emu type train had been utilized. The collision damage would have naturally been very similar, possibly worse as then no locomotive to absorb some of the impact, but maybe a fire would not have further added to the death toll.
