Track
The track is mainly 55/56 pound per yard (27 kg/m) rail on concrete sleepers designed and made by members of the railway. Currently sections of 330 m track upgrades are in progress, replacing old wooden sleepers and laying new ballast. The track is buried with only the railhead visible as the route is on a floodway and runs through the Taylor River Reserve.
