Train derails at Old Junee level crossing after collision with a truck, three in hospital - ABC News Just took a drive out to the site . These taken about hour ago. I got within about 300 yards of the site but was advised not to get any closer ,as the heavy lift equipment was due to arrive.I noticed some guys inspecting the hoppers that had remained on the tracks,and on my return through Junee caught the power set about to head out the Branch (Narrandera line) ,and retrieve the undamaged portion of the train.

Not sure ,but think the other loco (4911) has Victorian Rail heritage,also a EMD product.
I might add....There was a huge number of grain hauling trucks active in the area while I was there .. Lots of big storage facilities all along this line. DK Edited 2 time(s).

They are hitting the ground the world around!
