    No got no steak and not sure who re railed it but I saw a land cruiser track inspection car heading out from bundy the next day - I actually own the original railway station that was one down the track from the de rail

    When I was in the wagon shop at callemondah,we had responabilty for Gladstone to Howard south and I think Brisbane(aciada ridge) came north.
    If a hose bag need changeing just north of Howard,you grabed your tools and a spare hose bag plus locktite pipe sealer,fueled the ute and headed south,around 8 hours to change a hose bag.

    A small derailment would be treated the same I think?
