Sorry - have forgotten who took this picture!!
Further news about the derailment.
From a contact driver on the Orex line.
It happened between Loop 4 (near Lutzville) and Loop 5.
The locomotives were the third set of traction in the train (Locos + A; Locos + B; Locos + C; Locos). The complete train are called "A, B, C and D".
My source said he crossed the train earlier and suddenly the power cut out. The driver of the derailed train said he looked back when the power switched off and saw the dust as the train derailed.
The front part of the train did not derail, only from the locomotives in front of section C towards the back.
The investigating team are on site. At this stage the cause of the derailment is unsure, but it was most probably a broken rail.
The line will probably be opened for traffic again on Tuesday (tomorrow).
