KiwiRail has estimated it could take up to a week to repair a Southland line after a train derailed yesterday morning.
The freight service was carrying empty coal wagons to Nightcaps when it came off the tracks at Wrights Bush on the Ohai-Invercargill line about 8.30am.
A KiwiRail spokesman said there were no injuries, however, there had been some damage to the track and rolling stock.
