A man has died after a passenger train collided with an excavator in the central west in NSW.

The man killed was the driver of the excavator.

An ambulance spokesman says the crash occurred about 3km east of the Newbridge railway station just before midday.

The condition of the 50 passengers on board the train has not been established as yet.

There are 7 ambulances and the Ambulance Rescue Helicopter responded to the scene.

The line is believed to be serviced by CountryLink.

Our thoughts are with all involved in the incident.

It is believed to have been the Dubbo XPT involved in this incident.
