Safety Issue
GrainCorp's train crew change over procedures did not ensure
that the status of train 9351's LocoLAN radio was checked as being
activated and registered during the crew changeover at Goulburn and
thus led to the train continuing its journey without being
registered on the CountryNet communication system.
Safety Advisory Notice
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau advises that all rail
vehicle operators in New South Wales should consider the safety
implications of this safety issue and take action where considered
appropriate.
