MELBOURNE—An empty iron ore train has derailed in Western Australia after poor weather eroded part of the track, operator Mineral Resources Ltd said on Nov. 12, just a week after the derailing of a runaway ore train in the state’s north.
About 30 empty iron ore wagons in a 106-wagon train came off the track on Nov. 11 south of the sparsely populated town of Norseman, some 700 km east of Perth, between the port of Esperance and Mineral Resources’ Koolyanobbing mine.
