Queensland Rail says warning lights at a railway crossing near Cardwell in north Queensland were working properly when a high speed tilt train and a semi-trailer collided on Thursday.
The train's two drivers were killed in the accident.
A QR spokesman says data from the signal box at the level crossing shows nothing unusual about the lights.
Information has also been downloaded from the train's black box that shows its drivers were observing all speed and driving requirements at the time of the incident.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau is still investigating the incident.
