Rail services on the East-West and North-South (NT corridor) routes are currently affected by heavy rainfall in northern South Australia. Recent downpours over the weekend have washed away sections of track near Port Augusta.

With more rain forecasted, track repairs are expected to take at least a week to complete. To minimise delays, MTF will continue freight collections and implement contingency road services where needed.

For full load shipments or specific requirements, please contact MTF Logistics.

We will closely monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.
