Ettamogah

Ettamogah is based on the Privately owned freight terminal at Tabletop 10 km North of Albury on the main standard gauge line between Melbourne and Sydney. The freight terminal is unique in that it has the only two Cargo Sprinters in Australia. Although now in storage but it uses 2 restored victorian Y class locos and a restored T class loco, these units perform the daily shunting duties.

Ettamogah Rail Hub is a leading edge regional intermodal transport facility established to provide an important link between multimodal terminals across Australia.

The Hub sees Pacific National and Aurizion on a regular basis. The Rail Hub is in its early stages with further development planned. The Hub has its own rail sidings, and a  300 metre concrete loading platform there is also a 320 metre gravel platform and can accommodate trains up to 1200 metres in length.

The layout shows the trains dropping off and picking up it wagons, on the layout you can see, The Cargo Sprinters, Y class in Regional connect livery and the T class in its unique livery shunting the wagons, and a selection of other trains likely to be seen passing the Freight Terminal.

This is a layout that is being constantly updated and modified to be close to current happenings at the hub so is always a bit different from the last showing, its designed to give a good indication of daily activity at the Rail Hub.
