Certain trains in Australia are operating 'driverless', under computer control, remotely. In this case, the "system" lost control of the train, and it was determined the best solution was to intentionally derail the train by running it off a dead-end spur.


A summary of the incident:

Quote:
ABC Australia*
Key points:
* TasRail alerted police it had lost control of a driverless train
* The freight train, carrying cement, was deliberately derailed at Devonport Wharf
* Two people have minor injuries from debris after the train brought down a fence
