The Ghan, has derailed

Quote:
ONE of Australia's best-known trains, The Ghan, has derailed in the Northern Territory.
The passenger train, which travels between Adelaide and Darwin, derailed about 2pm (CST) near the Adelaide River.

The driver of the 11-carriage train sustained minor injuries, police said.
It is not known how many passengers were on board but a police spokeswoman said "they have only bumps and bruises''.

Three paramedic teams are on site.

Comment was being sought from The Ghan's operator, Great Southern Railway.

"The Ghan has been in a level-crossing accident with a road train," she said.

"The road train has crossed in front of it. The locomotive has hit into the road train."

just out of curiousity, those of you using the police site's media section, did you find it easy to locate the info you wanted relating to this?

Yeah i just clicked on that link up there and it came straight up :p

interesting stuff - they're running MX6 still, plans to upgrade to 7, but by the time they do the new release will be out.

[edit:] hmm.. cant get that to do anything nefarious - the NTG one goes to the NTG page not found custom page, and on our MX7 server it just presents exactly what you typed in, nothing extra - and the script inclusion doesnt achieve anything either, though that might be because I dont know what I'm doing for that one :)
