Freight
Since 2013, long distance freight trains have had their own separate track, the Southern Sydney Freight Line.
An Inland port is located south of Minto station. It consists of a crossover and a siding.[6][7] Because there are no facilities for locomotives to change ends of the train, the container trains must have engines at both ends.
