Shocking photos from the scene at Inverleigh, near Geelong, reveal the extent of the damage as more than 20 shipping containers lay sprawled across the nearby paddocks.
Eight wagons derailed from the flood-damaged tracks at 5.30 am on Monday, smashing dozens of shipping containers as they fell.
The freight train stopped just short of a level crossing, which authorities say has already been reopened.JAMES ROSS/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock
