Another foolish truck driver tries to take on The Afghan Express causing an inconvenience to travellers.

Truck crashes into The Ghan near Alice Springs, with passengers moved to busses.

Passengers have had a once-in-a-lifetime trip cut short after a cattle truck hit The Ghan train in the Australian outback.

The truck collided with the luxury passenger train about 10am local time on Sunday at a level crossing about 60km north of Alice Springs.

A spokeswoman for Journey Beyond, the company that manages the The Ghan, said no serious injuries had been identified by passengers, train drivers or crew.

“Coach transport has been arranged to collect guests and transfer them to Alice Springs,” she said.

“Emergency services are currently attending the scene.”.........
