A freight train is seen washed off the Edith Creek crossing near the Australian town of Katherine on Dec. 27, 2011 after flood waters from cyclone Grant inundated vast areas of the Northern Territory. Storms linked to ex-tropical cyclone Grant caused flash flooding across the remote outback which washed the 33-wagon iron ore train off a bridge and swept slabs of roadway from the Stuart Highway.
