Mildura freight

The Mildura freight runs from Merbein (just north of the town) to Melbourne and return for Wakefield Transport. The train is made up of standard and refrigerated containers, as well as a small amount of cement loading. Until recent years oil tankers, louvred vans and LCL containers were also attached to the train.

G527, P20 and G524 lead the up Mildura freight through Middle Footscray
