Track works improve Hunter and North Coast lines

Track works were completed on ARTC’s network in the Hunter Valley and North Coast of NSW over the weekend as part of our ongoing efforts to provide a safe, resilient and reliable network to help grow freight on rail.

Essential maintenance and improvement works were carried out from 31 January to 2 February across more than 40 work sites from Newcastle in NSW to Acacia Ridge in Queensland.

Activities included track machine work, upgrading signal cable routes from Maitland to Telarah, re-railing, re-sleepering, defect removal, maintenance and upgrading of structures, and level crossing track works.

“With high temperatures throughout, everyone did a great job to complete the works safely and efficiently,” said Darren Warner, ARTC Area Manager – Kundabung to Acacia Ridge.
