The ARTC rail corridor between Kalgoorlie and Rawlinna in Western Australia remains closed due to significant flooding.
Prolonged and intense rain in the area is impacting the ARTC’s ability to access all locations of the rail line and commence recovery efforts.
While the crews have observed water levels subsiding in some locations, there are still a number of sites significantly impacted with water over the track.
Given the current weather outlook, the best case scenario, with all flood waters receding would allow the ARTC to reopen the line towards the back end of next week.
This will be reassessed as flood levels drop and as essential repairs are undertaken to damaged track and ballast, when it is safe for the crews to access.
ARTC continues to work with its customers and West Australian authorities as this disruption continues.
