An interim report has confirmed a runaway coal train reached speeds well in excess of the safe limit and rolled backwards for 5 kilometres before coming to a halt.
The fully laden coal train started rolling downhill during a crew change in the NSW Hunter Valley.
Another coal train run by haulage operator Pacific National is being investigated in New South Wales just weeks after a runaway train incident involving the same operator.
