Cairns Tilt Train derailment (Ingham–Hinchinbrook) 19 March 2011
Cairns Tilt Train derailment (Ingham–Hinchinbrook) 19 March 2011 (PDF, 1.17 MB) Cairns Tilt Train derailment (Ingham–Hinchinbrook) – part 1 (PDF, 405 KB) Cairns Tilt Train derailment (Ingham–Hinchinbrook) – part 2 (PDF, 706 KB) At about 3.44pm on 19 March 2011 the Rail Traffic Crew (RTC) of a northbound Cairns Tilt Train observed track buckling on the Ingham–Hinchinbrook section of the North Coast Line. The RTC was of the belief they would be unable to stop the train prior to travelling over the buckle and attempted to ride out the buckle without braking. While traversing the buckle the lead power unit of the train derailed.
The investigation found that an underlying cause of the derailment was a history of track instability and defects in the area of derailment.
