@theoztrucker Rail freight in Australia is charged by the Gross Tonne Kilometer in both directions. Will be interesting to see the transition to something similar for road freight in the not too distant future.

Morven to Brisbane Train pulled up east of Dalby. Calm before the storm. Great shot from Shayne Noonan #cattletrain #watcoeastwest #morven

Hauling out the last of the mob from #Morven Freight Hub. Great effort Mick Smith and team …. and awesome camera work Dan Cowie!

Extraordinary number of ships at #singapore. All bunched up here because of Red Sea disruption to shipping and shifts in way things are being shipped. Fascinating. This is where commerce and geo politics come face to face

Thanks Tony and thanks ⁦@TeysAustralia⁩ and Paraway Pastoral Co for your ongoing business and support. Thanks also to Mick Smith & his team doing an awesome job in some pretty chilly weather! Big numbers and growing.

Many thanks to some avid train spotters in Longreach last night who have recorded their very own inspirational soundtrack as our Winton service rolled through town. Well done “The Charlottes”👏

Another Cattletrain heading out of Rockhampton this morning on its way to back to Julia Creek. More trains into Rocky tomorrow #beefweek

Big load of Winton/Longreach cattle into Teys Beenleigh (Holmview) this morning. Thanks for your business ⁦@TeysAustralia⁩ and thanks ⁦@QueenslandRail⁩ for getting us through the network ahead of time!

Yarding up at Morven Freight Hub. Spelled and Weighed on state of the art liveweight scales. Great location at the junction of the 2 big cattle highways.

Some exciting new additions to the Watco East West Fleet. Finding new ways to serve our customers!

3 Watco East West Locos hauling the equivalent of 9 B Double trucks through Eagle Junction this morning from Townsville. #WatcoEastWest #Cattletrain

[Cattle Train @cattle_train]

First train out of Hughenden this morning. Thanks to ⁦@QueenslandRail⁩ for upgrading the access into the Yards. Cattle haven’t gone from Hughenden on rail for many years. We’re aiming to change that #cattletrain #watcoeastwest

[Cattle Train @cattle_train]

I think I can, I think I can …..

Incredible sight of 2 x 115t Locos coming up Cunningham’s Gap at Warwick early this morning. Great job Jock Maxwell & crew! #Cattletrain #MtIsaLine

[Cattle Train @cattle_train]

Watco East West’s latest additions to the fleet. 2266 and 2257 are 115t Locos. Sadly they were too big and heavy to rail to Warwick Workshops.

[Cattle Train @cattle_train]

Interesting concept. Mightn’t go so well with the overhead wires on the Brisbane Rail Network - or the Cross River Rail tunnels😳
