International Railroad Discussion > Australia - QUBE Logistics service at Concord WestDate: 08/12/16 22:31 Australia - QUBE Logistics service at Concord West Author: Stephenloco A southbound QUBE Logistics service slowly grinds through Concord West station on Sydney's Northern Line, en-route to Port Botany. The train is slowing to a stop before entering the North Strathfield Rail Underpass (NSRU) & the single line section travelling west between North Strathfield junction & Flemington.
At Concord West it is quadruple track, with L-R, "down relief", "down main", "up main" & the NSRU line, which the train is on. There is no link back onto the up main from this line, so it cannot be used for (passenger) trains towards Sydney Central. Down lines - travel away from Sydney, Up lines - travel towards Sydney. An interesting collection of locos lead the train, being; CM 3306, VL 355, CM 3311 & #1102. The first 3 locos are owned by Chicago Freight Car Leasing Australia, with the last owned by QUBE. CM class - Motive Power Industries MP33C model with Cummins QSK78-18 prime movers (class built from 2013) VL class - Built in Australia by Avteq, GT26C model with EMD 16/645E3B prime movers (class built from 2007) 1100 class - Built by NREC, E-3000E3B model with EMD 16/645E3C prime movers (class built from 2011) You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos.

Posted from iPhone Date: 08/17/16 01:29 Re: Australia - QUBE Logistics service at Concord West Author: Stephenloco I believe the lower ones we the original standard ISO container - 20ft long (or 40ft) & 8ft6in high. To increase volume there is now a larger version for international shipping containers which is 9ft6in high.
