The ATSB recommends that Pacific National:

  • Enhance the Train Consist Report provided to locomotive drivers
    such that each platform of a multi-platform drawbar connected wagon
    is presented as an individual wagon.
  • Encourage drivers to refer to the Train Consist Report and
    tailor their driving technique to reflect any undesirable factors
    relating to the load distribution, such as the use of dual braking
    on steep descending grades.
