Info

Where available, generic data will be supplied on request to a third party operator who is proposing operations within a defined network. That data will indicate those areas where QR has received prior complaints relating to its train operations. It will be made available when a third party operator is undertaking the development of its Environmental Investigation and Risk Management Report as part of its Access Agreement conditions. Third Party Requirements Any railway operator obtaining access to QR’s Network shall be required to commission an environmental investigation of the proposed operations. This investigation will be conducted by a suitably qualified person, reasonably acceptable to both parties. In response to the findings of such an investigation, the operator shall produce an Environmental Investigation and Risk Management Report that identifies the risks of Environmental Harm associated with the operation and provides proposed controls to address the risks. This shall be reviewed by, and agreed with, QR. In addition, the operator shall have in place an EMS, which, amongst other things, has regard for the issues, risk and control measures identified in the Environmental Investigation and Risk Management Report. Further details on requirements for environmental issues can be found in QR’s Access Undertaking. QR has determined that it holds no EMS documentation that, without disclosure to a third party operator, would either: • Compromise or restrict a third party’s operations or increase or place at risk the environmental performance of the third party operator or itself, and • Limit or restrict the abilities of a third party operator to develop such documentation that would not be reasonably expected of the operator to develop on its own behalf, commensurate with the size and subsequent environmental risks of the proposed operations and the organisational resources available to it, to undertake such operations. Any EMS documentation (wholly or partially) identified as specifically relating to the control of corridor infrastructure (below rail) environmental issues, will be made available to the operator to assist in formulating appropriate and consistent operational (above rail) controls within their Environmental Investigation and Risk Management Report and EMS. MAXIMUM TRAIN LENGTH The maximum length of trains is determined by: • requirements for crossing/passing other trains • requirements for braking performance of the train • capacity of the route • drawgear capacity • train handling • requirements for road/pedestrian access across the track Where it is necessary for a train to cross, pass or be passed by another train, the maximum train length allowable shall be such that the comparison train length NORTH COAST LINE SYSTEM - SOUTH - INFORMATION PACK (Nambour - Gladstone and Rocklands to Rockhampton) ISSUE 2 - JUNE 2007 - 22
(including allowance for stretching and train handling) is not longer than the crossing loop length. Variations of train length for a particular train configuration is possible and would need to be negotiated as part of access agreement negotiations. ROLLINGSTOCK BRAKING RATE The signalling system and flashing light protection at rail / road interfaces has been designed to cater for the variety of trains that currently use this system. Signal design parameters and train braking characteristics will be compared during the development of the Interface Risk Management Plan. FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS Projects identified as possible future improvements include :- Deviations Nambour - Rockhampton Rerailing - priority areas Nambour - Parana Steel Sleeper Replacement - Brisbane - Gladstone Communications Upgrades INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT and ACCESS APPENDIX B - SCHEMATIC LAYOUT is colour coded to indicate Management of Infrastructure and Access.
