Qube Steel Trains

2022 will be remembered for a long time (especially by model railroaders) as the year that saw a major change in haulage of the Bluescope steel contract from PN to Qube.  

A large number of jumbo coil and plate steel wagons have transferred across for Qube to haul, along with Bluescope RH and RV (butter boxes) and DMJU jumbo coil container frames.   

Qube are carrying the containers and butter boxes on new CRRC Meishan built SQSY 40ft skels (about 400 of them all up), along with a small fleet of new plate steel and beam carrying wagons.

Below are some photos of the a loaded Qube steel train from Port Kembla to Melbourne in mid Feb 2022.  

Enjoy!
