Default Carnage in the desert

Sorry if this is a repost. Thought these photos may be of some interest. Train was 1MP5. Came off at Goddards loop, about 240km east of Kalgoorlie. I hope no one had any vehicles involved. Tried uploading them but they refused to be resized for some reason.

Cheers.

Happened on 28/12. Believed to be caused by a heat kick at this stage. About 300m of rail ripped up and vehicles 11 to 35 in varying stages of uprightness.
