Down diesel tilt train near Mutarnee, QLD

I need help here. I took this one while the family was enjoying some ice cream at the very good Frosty Mango. I was across the road from Frosty Mango, where this level crossing was, but I honestly can't remember what the road was called. Something like Amos Road i think it was. Taken at about 2pm.

I have heard of this train, it has a lot of bad luck .... crashes a lot don't it.

mm yeah it derailed a couple of times... they should so not have it on narrow gauge :P

Gday mate.. yeah, thats Amos Road.... I lived from Ingham, I drove sugar cane trains for a number of years... if you continue down Amos Road across the crossing, you come to a cane train yard... you thought QRs gauge was narrow- cane treains run on 2' (61cm) gauge !

@VicRail99 - once because of overspeeding on a curve, once because it hit a garbage truck on a level crossing. Neither derailment had anything to do with gauge.

what was that noise @ 00:33 sounded like a toddler making a delightful incoherent sound as if it's happy to see the train pass by
