Ground too wet to recover derailed wagons

Two months after an iron ore train derailed in WA, Aurizon say the ground is still too wet to recover the wagons.

Around thirty wagons derailed on May 20 while the train was on the move from Kalgoorlie to Esperance, the ABC reported.

No one was injured as a result of the accident.

Aurizon said it was waiting for the ground in the area to dry before it could remove the wagons.

Brookfield Rail said a crane will be needed to lift the wagons.

The rail company said investigation into what caused the derailment are continuing.
