G'day,
A recent prang report from our ATSB concerning a coalie derailment mid last year.

I think that there may be video footage of this incident somewhere on You Tuber.
I remember being told many moons ago that a Good Driver never looks back.
Yeh, because he don't wanna get a nasty surprise.
We have two other wheel / journal incidents also being investigated.
One in Sandgroper country when a wheel disintegrated.
The other here in Cockroach country concerning a doodlebug defective bearing.
Thankfully that doodlebug hogger realized the drama before the train went bush.
One must wonder if the plague and consequent restrictions imposed is effecting car and wagon maintenance inspection.
Though, the coalie derailment occurred well before the plague commenced.
Steve.
