RECOVERY OPERATION | CRANES LIFT DERAILED LOCOS OFF HUNTER VALLEY TRACKS

Two heavy cranes are today working to clear the site of a train derailment in the Hunter Valley.

Two locomotives toppled off the tracks, travelling north-bound between Ardglen and Kankool just outside of Murrurundi on Wednesday night.

The Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) are working with Aurizon to manage the engines safe removal, and track repairs will also take place.

Independent safety investigators and the rail safety regulator attended yesterday afternoon and have released the site for repair and recovery work.

All rail traffic has ceased in the section between Ardglen to Kankool in any direction with a planned return the service currently estimated to recommence on Sunday morning.

The site is being carefully controlled to ensure the safety of all those who are now involved in the site recovery and repair.
