Tranz Rail's detecting and reporting procedures were not at fault in this incident. Tranz Rail accepts however, there was a failure to recognise the potential hazard the cable drum posed to rail services. Tranz Rail intends to address this issue.
In the preliminary safety recommendation submission, Tranz Rail proposed the safety recommendation could be reworded as follows:
Improve recognition of potential obstructions to rail traffic and ensure that such obstructions are effectively removed or secured.
