Derailment Near Spencer Junction SA

Pacific National confirms that a train derailment occurred last evening approximately 35 kilometres east of Spencer Junction, near Port Augusta SA. There are no reported injuries to crew members or the public. 

The track is closed and the cause of the incident is currently under investigation. The PN team is working closely with emergency services, including fire and police authorities, to manage the situation and establish the subsequent recovery plan in order to restore operations as quickly as possible. Regrettably, CEVA will experience delays into and ex WA as a result of the derailment. (Noting that we were already working through delays with the derailment in Newport VIC in late December.) Currently we envisage delays of 8-10 days on this corridor however we will be actively managing this unforeseen situation. We are looking at significant delays of approx. 10-12 business days into, ex, and indeed via these regions.
