Translation note for non-Oz readers, a "ute" is the abbreviation of "utility vehicle", a vehicle type created in Oz in the mid-1930s so the farmer could go to church on Sunday then take the pigs to market on Monday. It's what some US-arians like to call a truck or light truck, but it's the size of a sedan and requires only an ordinary motor vehicle licence. It usually has only a bench seat in the cabin for driver and passenger(s), and a tray behind.
Anyway, this sad story is about how one came off second-best when it met a cross-continental goods train south of the site where the north-south and east-west lines cross, so you'd reckon drivers there would be alert to trains, eh?
