Aurizon Intermodal finishes operations

The last train of Aurizon Intermodal has now finally finished its operations.

The last train worked was the 1451 from Enfield to Carrington and return 4152 to Enfield on the 31^st March 2018.

The train was operated by Keith Hellyer and Graham Phillips, with a departure from Enfield of 0810hrs with Locomotives G534, G516 and 6042 with a length of 640 metres, and 1945 tonnes and arrived at Carrington at 1215hrs.

It was then stripped and reloaded of containers and then formed train No. 4152 which departed Carrington at 1535hrs with train crew Paul Dawson and Graham Phillips. Graham Phillips was relived at Cowan by Jarrod Wilson. The 4152 arrived at Enfield around 1730hrs and was stabled.

Aurizon Intermodal started out as Interail in late 2004 with a couple of name changes along the way. In 2008 it was known as QR and then in 2012 until present it has been known as Aurizon Intermodal.

Sadly, this now brings a close to Aurizon’s Intermodal Interstate Operations with a loss of over 250 jobs nationally, with the vast majority of NSW Members gaining employment within the Industry !
