Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

forum: Transportation

After I posted this I heard on the news that today one of these trains travelled 92 km (57 miles) across the Pilbara without a driver. Evidently he'd stopped the train and got out to inspect a wagon (it had 268 wagons) when it started to move, and it just kept going. To stop it, the company (BHP) derailed it remotely from Perth at a set of points. Oops.

That came only about a month after a train just took off here and they had to derail it in Devonport.
Wasn't very pleasant but thankfully no major injuries.
Both these are a bit scary.

Some good images in that article: the crumpled train in front of the Spirit of Tasmania, and the 'Beware of Trains' sign.
