    The northbound goods train that the Aurora hit perhaps (probably) included car carriers.
    YM-Mundrabilla
    Nailed it. From the ABC:]
    "KRviator"

    The freighter's wagons would explain it as that image shows more than the usual number of car carrying wagons on the Aurora. Could not check image earlier as that Railpage URL in the initial post would not open, so used the one that KRviator supplied.

    I also just dug out the accident report and the freighter's wagons were listed as;
    DETAILS OF DAMAGE TO VEHICLES :
    ALX. 35
    OX. 23
    SGX. 2
    BKX. 11912
    ALX. 21
    ALX. 31
    LLV. 11534
