1 INTRODUCTION
The Northern Sydney Freight Corridor (NSFC) Program is an initiative to improve capacity and
reliability for freight trains on the Main North Line between Sydney (Strathfield) and Hexham, west
of Newcastle.
The program is designed to:
Improve freight train access through northern Sydney
Relieve a serious bottleneck on the rail network
Create a more efficient freight rail network
Improve the reliability of passenger services on the Main North Line
Enable freight access during peak times
The Gosford Passing Loops project (the Project) is one of four projects as part of the wider NSFC
Program.
In October 2012, the Project was approved by the Deputy Director General Transport Projects,
Transport for NSW subject to Conditions of Approval (CoA).
In January 2013, Transport for NSW (TfNSW) appointed Downer EDI as the design and construct
contractor for the project.

3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project comprises the construction of two electrified passing loops and associated
infrastructure north of Gosford Station to allow for the passing of faster passenger trains while
freight trains are held on the mainline or in the reverse arrangement as deemed necessary.
The Project comprises two new tracks for the passing loops (and associated overhead wiring, civil
and structural works) between Gosford and Narara stations. The total new track length would be
approximately 4 kilometres (km) (approximately 2 km for both the Up and Down Refuges). The
new tracks would be constructed on the outside of the existing rail tracks and would generally be
accommodated within the existing rail corridor boundary (with the exception of a short section of
track between chainages 82.40 km and 82.70 km, which would require the eastern corridor
boundary to be widened by up to approximately 3 metres to facilitate the construction of the
track and other railway infrastructure).
The key features of the GPL include:
Three new pairs of bridges (six bridges in total) over Bradys Gully, Wingello Creek and Wyoming
Creek, adjacent to the existing rail bridges.
One new crossover on the Up Main (adjacent to Brooks Avenue, Wyoming, between chainages
83.50 km and 83.80 km) and one new turnout on the Down Refuge (adjacent to Brooks Avenue,
Wyoming, between chainages 83.60 km and 83.80 km).
Maintenance access roads and gates.
A combined services route (approximately 2 kilometres long) on the eastern side of the rail
corridor between Gosford Station and the Etna Street overbridge, and on the western side of the
rail corridor between the Etna Street overbridge and Narara Station.
Three underline crossings (buried services route allowing services/utilities to cross beneath the rail
tracks) and associated cable routes at proposal chainages 81.54 km, 81.97 km and 84.52 km.
The refurbishment of an existing Up Refuge between Gosford Station and the Etna Street
overbridge the removal of two existing maintenance sidings (referred to as the Down Loco Sidings
1 and 2), adjacent to Gosford Showground.
The removal of two existing crossovers and one turnout between Gosford Station and Gosford
Showground.
The refurbishment of one existing catchpoint adjacent to Gosford Showground.
Modifications to the existing signalling system at various locations between Gosford Station and
north of Narara Station (proposal chainages 81.00 km to 86.00 km).
The adjustment, relocation, protection and/or provision of services and utilities, including
overhead wiring, high and low voltage, telecommunications/control, and earthing/bonding
operation of the Project.
3.1
The fundamental purpose of the Gosford Passing Loops Project is to provide an alternative route
for freight trains, allowing them to be passed by faster passenger rolling stock.
