Default Re: Geez! I hate that!

Well it happened again.
Railway closed down due to a fool driving a freight train to fast on a badly maintained, speed restricted track in the heat.
42 deg, I was outside and happened to watch this train speed through Chiltern and thought geeze he is really travelling.
10 mins later I start hearing sirens and a heap of firies heading out of town, later learning the freight train left the tracks spilling its containers all over the opposite line and starting a fire alongside the freeway, just as the southbound passenger service came around the bend.
They made heavy contact but fortunately no one was injured.
No trains have been running since.
