Pacific National interstate steel trains

Until 2021 Pacific National carried raw materials and finished steel product to and from the BlueScope, Arrium and Onesteel plants at Port Kembla, NSW and Westernport, Victoria; with trains running Melbourne-Wollongong-Brisbane and Melbourne-Adelaide-Perth. Since 2022 the trains only transport steel for Liberty Steel Australia from their plant at Whyalla.
