The railway tracks through Ethelton are dual gauge and capable of carrying both broad gauge (1600 mm) and standard gauge (1435 mm) trains. Until July 2008 the dual gauge tracks were used by freight trains from Dry Creek and the Rosewater loop which passed through Ethelton to access industrial facilities on the Lefevre Peninsula and the container terminal at Pelican Point. All freight services through the station ceased when the new Port River Expressway rail connection was opened. The standard gauge tracks will remain out of use until eventual gauge conversion of broad gauge passenger trains to standard gauge.
