A drop off and pickup freight service between Gladstone and Wilmington. Options from the 1964 and 1982 timetables are available.

The Historical Bit  The 1964 Working Timetable for the  Wilmington Line  contained two weekly freight services through to Wilmington with an additional service terminating at Booleroo Centre. Additional services to Wilmington and Booleroo Centre would also run "when required". The 1982 Working Timetable consisted of a single weekly freight service to Wilmington. By 1984 the freight and livestock facilities at most of the locations along the line had been permanently closed. The line had no signals beyond Gladstone Yard and train order working was in operation. The line was closed in 1990 and the track has been removed. Most of the track right of way is now a walking and cycling Rail Trail.
