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.

Famous quotes containing the word services:

    “The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
    —Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)

    “A good marriage ... is a sweet association in life: full of constancy, trust, and an infinite number of useful and solid services and mutual obligations.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
