Southwest Queensland Coal Trains | The Cairns Railfan
Показать описание
Hello everyone, welcome to my first video for 2024!
In late December, I went down to the southwest of Queensland for about a week, and filmed various Aurizon coal trains around the areas between Spring Bluff, Toowoomba, Dalby and Warra. This video compiles all of the trains I saw during the 3 day recording effort! This video includes far more rail action than what I previously covered a year ago on Dalby, that video is 10 minutes long while this one is an hour long!
Today, the coal trains we will be seeing are traversing the West Moreton System, a 314 kilometre (195 mile) section of Queensland Rail owned track starting about 60 kilometres (37 miles) west of Queensland's capital city, Brisbane, at Rosewood and ending at Miles further west. Like the majority of Queensland's railway network, the West Moreton System is 3ft 6in gauge.
The area of the West Moreton System we will mostly be focusing on today is between Toowoomba and Warra; where coal dominates the rail hauled freight on the line. Grain and cattle is also hauled; but far less common than the coal trains (at least when I was there that is). A singular passenger train also runs twice a week through this line, it's known as the Westlander but due to the absurd hours it gets to Dalby (1am heading west, 4am heading east) I decided not to see it as I already saw it at Dalby Railway Station last year anyway which can be found in my previous Dalby video.
Aurizon is the railway company that hauls all the coal trains around this area. They are a privatised rail freight company which was formed around the early 2010s from the previously nationalised government run company known as QR National, which was a freight dedicated branch from Queensland Rail's core passenger services. Like QR National once did, Aurizon operates nationally all over Australia instead of just within the state of Queensland. Interestingly, a few Aurizon locomotives still have QR National labels on them; sometimes even remaining almost entirely in the QR National "Eagle" livery instead of Aurizon's modern day "Pineapple" and Pure Yellow liveries, we will be seeing some of these locomotives today.
