As priests crawled through the wreckage to administer the last rites, a spokesman for the ambulance brigade said his crew could no longer handle the number of injured. “We have simply run out of units,’ he said. The train — eight wooden cars and an engine — was on its daily 70-mile run from Mount Victoria to Sydney when it derailed shortly after 8 a.m. as it approached Granville, about 14 miles west of Sydney. “The carriages slewed off the track and hit the bridge supports and the whple bridge just collapsed across the train, a witness said. Three au tomobiles that were on the bridge also pitched onto the coaches. A spokesman for the Transport Department said there were about 600 persons aboard the train at the time and police estimated about 200 were trapped by the rubble. One survivor said the weight of the concrete hitting this car caused it to “burst open like a sardine tin.” “I’ve been in the war and have seen some bad injuries but none as shocking as I saw today, he said. “We were torn upside down and in side out. ” “The first carriage is completely entombed by a massive slab of the bridge,” said Father Kerris, a parish priest from suburban Merrylands who rushed to the scene. “At this point we can only pray for them.” Thanks Aggies — for again giving Or Army Lou your business.

Dr. Peter Christopher, in charge of the rescue medical team, said, “We are locating people by tapping on the side of the carriage. People are either tapping back or calling their names out.” “They are trapped among the dead and we are doing what we can for them. Two doctors have man to crawl i nside part of the third; to give five people we know are injections of morphine.” “The coach has been squat : 1 down to a height of about two The chances of more than a hai of people surviving that are ven mote,” he said.
