GENERAL INFORMATION The North Coast Line System is located the length of Coastal Queensland between Cairns ( 16°55’ S - 145°46’ E) in the north and Brisbane ( 27°27’ S - 153°01’ E) in the south, a distance of 1681 km. Due to the length of this System there will be two information packs, South - Nambour to Rockhampton (excluding Gladstone to Rocklands) and North - Rockhampton to Cairns.

The North Coast Line System (South) incorporates two other systems, the Blackwater System (between Rocklands and Gladstone) and the Brisbane Metropolitan System (between Roma Street and Nambour). The Maryborough System straddles the North Coast System and picks all branch lines in that vicinity. The scope of this Information Pack will cover Nambour to Gladstone, Rocklands to Rockhampton and branch lines. The system, overall, caters for all traffic tasks from heavy haul block trains to high speed tilt train and commuter services. This single line section of track (425 km in length) provides the strategic link between North and South and sees an annual tonnage in excess of 8 million tonnes hauled over the corridor. The entire length between Roma Street and Rockhampton is electrified with the section Caboolture to Rocklands electrified by an autotransformer system with the overhead line equipment operating at 25,000 volts, 50 Hertz, alternating supply (25 kV, 50 Hz, ac). The section Caboolture to Roma Street is electrified by a booster transformer system energised with 25 kV AC (alternating current) power. Included in the System are Branch Lines that have been catergorised as “Non-Rail and Non-Operational Corridor Land” and will not be considered further, namely Bunda Street Branch (Bundaberg) and Colton to Takura. Descriptive distances within this document (unless otherwise stated) are based on physical kilometre posts in the field and are to be used only as location descriptors ie they do not compensate for equalities resulting from deviations. Access charges and performance statistics are generated using actual through distances derived from relevant Working Plan and Sections and reflected on Line Code Diagrams. Generally distances originate from the junction of the branch and commence at 0 km. GENERAL CLIMATE The system is generally in a warm to hot temperature climate. The following sub-sections specify general climatic parameters. For latest and more specific information potential railway operators should consult The Australian Bureau of Meteorology at it’s Internet Website: Cyclones http://www.bom.gov.au/climate Tropical lows, which develop from November to April, occasionally deepen to cause tropical cyclones. Tropical cyclones show great variation in behaviour. They foster high winds, heavy, flood-producing rainfall (especially when a cyclone moves over high ground), and coastal storm surges. The high wind risk does not usually extend further inland than 50 km. Inland movement reduces the inflow of moisture and cyclone intensity declines, often within a few hours.
