@traingator: The driver stepped out at 4:40am to inspect a wagon issue. The train left without him. 268 wagons of ore, four locomotives, two kilometers of train, hurtling through the Pilbara outback with an empty cab. For 50 minutes, a remote control center in Perth, over 1,500 km away, tracked it until they made the call: flip the switch, crash the whole thing. About 1.5 km of track was destroyed along with the train. No injuries. Just a very bad morning for BHP.

Would have thought it would be equipped with a “DSD” pedal

Doesn’t look like an iron ore train. It’s all containers.

so if they can remotely derail from miles away then surely someone can design a stop system to save damage

It’s Australia, that distance is next door , if it did crash , there’s literally nobody there to hit

Worked on a derailment in the Uk late last year after a passenger train hit a landslide causing a few hundred yards of damage. Can only imagine what damage the weight of this would have done.

Derailers were placed by humans not remotely
