Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) has reported that the limited train movement of the west line track near Wodonga has resumed its run this morning, 6am, Sydney time.

ARTC spokesman Mr. Brad Emery told the International Business Times-Sydney that repairs are still being done and they are still carefully monitoring each train movement and a 10 kilometres per hour speed will strictly be observed.

"At this stage only freight traffic will be recommenced with passenger services expected to return later in the week following further repair and recovery operations," ARTC further said in statement posted on its website.

Mr. Emery noted that trains traversing the site would be 'piloted,' which involves a site worker accompanying the driver in the train cabin and guiding the locomotive through the derailment site.

Repair and recovery operations will continue throughout the week, involving repair of the line, sleepers, signaling and inspection and repair of the bridge.

ARTC is not yet able to establish a final restoration date.
