COLLISION IN QUEENSLAND
Posted on 11 June 2009 by Railways Africa Editor
On 10 March, three locomotives and several wagons filled with coal derailed when a train collided with stationary rolling stock 140km south-east of Mackay in Queensland’s Coppabella Yard, the main staging point for trains on the Goonyella system. One of the locos landed up on top of a wagon. Neither of the two-man crew in the leading unit were hurt.
