Types of Track Possessions

ARTC Network Map – (Annexure 1, 2, 3 & 4 of Schedule E of the 2013 IAU)

Here you will find illustrative maps showing a geographical description of the Network covered by the undertaking in the form of the annexures to Schedule E of the 2013 IAU as amended by ARTC from time to time. The precise details of the Network will change over the duration of the Undertaking but not in such a way as to be inconsistent with the textual descriptions in Schedule E of the 2013 IAU.

WA, SA, VIC – Section Lengths

For each ARTC section (bounded by crossing loop locations, junctions etc), length of the section in kilometres.This information is contained at Appendix IV of TA02

WA, SA, VIC – Crossing Loops
