The north coast rail line between Townsville and Cairns in north Queensland reopened today, three days after it was closed due to a fatal level crossing crash.
Temporary speed restrictions are at place at the level crossing and areas surrounding the site near Cardwell.
Two tilt-train drivers died when the train they were driving hit a semi-trailer at the crossing on Thursday.
