Tara Mines derailment in North Wall

Looking at where the wagons derailed I'd say it did cause some head aches as it's near the bottleneck access points down to Alexandra Road.

A tara mins train derailed about 5 years ago on the northern main due to part of one of the wagon bogies failing, this cause the rails to spread cause the trailing wagons to derail also but the train was laden when this happened, I think the case in northwall was with empty wagons.

The point may have moved as the train was going over them as they are manual points at the location and it's common to let train to push through them instead of manually changing them all the time. I don't believe that's good practice in day to day ops.
