Just picked this up on the ABC website (Australian Broadcasting Corporation).
'A Ghan train travelling between Alice Springs and Adelaide has derailed after hitting a camel near Kulgera in the Northern Territory.
A spokeswoman for Great Southern Rail says the locomotive derailed around 9pm last night.
She says no-one was injured and the passengers stayed on board overnight.
The train resumed its journey this morning after the locomotive was swapped with another
The spokeswoman says the Ghan was scheduled to arrive in Adelaide at about 12.30pm today but will now arrive later this evening.'
Even I would tolerate a late arrival with this excuse!
Oops, the story now reads that the train hit a large bull. Either way I'd be avoiding the camel or the beef in the Gold dining carriage.
