Access to Container Port
Posted by JayBee on Monday, July 17, 2023 6:13 PM

Can Peter or BDA, or anybody else familiar with Australian railway operations please tell me if standard gauge trains can access the Fisherman Islands terminal in the Port of Brisbane? I ask because the wiki says that standard gauge freights terminate at the yard in Acacia Ridge, while the single daily passenger train from Sydney can use the dual-gauge to reach the Roma St. terminus next to the central business district. The wye where the line to the port branches off in between the two points. There is a code letter for the terminal for use on Interstate standard gauge network.

This link from the Port of Brisbane mentions a dual gauge link to the transportation network.

Thanks, I missed that when I checked out the Port's website.
