"A freight train derailed in Victoria’s west after storms lashed Victoria early
Monday morning.
Victoria’s State Emergency Service confirmed the train derailed between
Inverleigh and Gheringhap, about 30 kilometres west of Geelong, about 5.30am on
Monday.
Dozens of containers spilt onto the tracks, but no one was injured, according
to the SES.
Between eight and 10 carriages came off the tracks in the incident, but no
dangerous goods were on board, the service said.
Ambulance Victoria was not required at the scene and rail authorities were on
the way to the crash site to investigate the cause of the derailment."
Luckily nobody was injured, but that’s the only train line between Victoria and
South Australia and it will be out of commission for a while.
