Unmanned Coal Train Rolls Uncontrolled | Sydney News
Description
A coal train roared downhill by itself for miles through the Hunter Valley—unmanned during a crew change, hitting 60+ km/h and crossing tracks—without any injuries or derailment. Pacific National immediately alerted authorities, and the National Rail Safety Regulator launched a full investigation, shutting down the line for 36 hours. One engine suffered severe wheel damage, but tracks reopened Sunday afternoon. Safety remains top priority as regulators dig into what caused the runaway.
