The railtrails throughout Victoria ave been built on top of existing rail, so they can be re-converted back to heavy rail at any time.

There was good passenger loads
But the only freight left was a short train out of Condong Sugar Mill with fly ash which I think is used in cement making
The line from Murwullimbah to Condong is a mess sections removed wash outs.
I guess a long line from Casino to Murbah needs freight as well as passengers to survive financially
