Track Machine Maintenance – Muswellbrook

Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) operates track machines across the network to enable safer, more reliable and quieter rail operations. Track machines work continuously across the network, with works scheduled around other rail traffic. This means track machines need to be stabled in sidings for routine maintenance.

Track machines will be stabled for maintenance at Muswellbrook from 6:00am to 6:00pm, Saturday 26 November.

You may be aware of increased noise during machine maintenance as our track machines need to keep idling so we can check that all the electrical components are operating correctly.

To mitigate noise impacts, we will stable at a location away from residents where possible. Every maintenance project is assessed to minimise disruption and we are committed to reducing the impacts of our work on our neighbours wherever possible.
