PHC class locomotives at Cowan in April 2016
Crawfords Freightlines operates a daily freight train from Sandgate to Port Botany carrying intermodal containers. All crew and logistics services are provided by Sydney Rail Services.[2] The service commenced in 2012 using the accreditation of El Zorro and then Espee Railroad Services. Sydney Rail Services gained its own accreditation in November 2013.[3]
Initially the service was hauled by C class locomotives leased from Greentrains. These were replaced in February 2016 by two UGL Rail C44acis purchased by Crawfords.[1][4][5]
