Aurizon wins contract for grain haulage


Aurizon and the CBH Group have signed a long-term rail haulage and maintenance contract covering all rail requirements for CBH’s Western Australian grain harvests.

 

The Australian rail freight operator will begin hauling for CBH later this month, delivering from regional rail receival sites that feed into several export terminals.

 

CBH handles an average annual harvest of 14 million t of grain, with 60% currently on rail. Aurizon will utilise the existing grain haulage fleet of ten trains, owned by CBH, and will introduce an extra three Aurizon-owned grain trains.

 

In addition, the rail company will undertake upgrades to maintenance, rail yards and operational facilities and will invest to modernise the maintenance facility and yards at Avon. (ben)
