The Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) will carry out essential maintenance and improvement works next weekend along the North Coast Line between Telarah and Acacia Ridge in Queensland.
To enable the works the line will be closed from 6:00am Saturday 8 June to 6:00pm Monday 10 June.
Crews will be working right along the 800km train line, investing $6 million and more than 8,000 work hours in critical maintenance. This includes re-railing, track resurfacing, mudhole removal, structure repairs, level crossing maintenance and turnout upgrades.
Other work includes vegetation control at multiple locations and track component replacement.
ARTC is reminding motorists and pedestrians to remain vigilant for altered traffic conditions near the rail corridor and to obey all road rules at level crossings, with rail machinery and other movements still occurring on the rail line.
NSW TrainLink services will be replaced by coaches. Customers are encouraged to check or call 13 22 32 for travel advice. Information on road closures and alternative routes can be found at
