Leonora Branch Line (LBL) – Leonora Goldfields Rail Terminal
The agreement involves shortening the Leonora Branch Line by about 7 km to support Genesis Minerals’ Tower Hill gold project, while Arc will invest in a new open-access rail terminal east of Goldfields Highway. The terminal will include rail and maintenance facilities, Aurizon’s intermodal terminal, and space for future freight and train expansion, ensuring continued access for existing and new users.
This project will create jobs, boost royalties, and improve safety for Leonora residents by removing six level crossings, demonstrating strong industry collaboration for regional development.

Level Crossing Improvement Program 2024–2029
Through targeted upgrades, including improved signalling, protection systems, and crossing surfaces, this project aims to reduce risk for rail operations and road users while supporting the efficient movement of freight.
Delivered through a collaborative model combining the expertise of external contractors with Arc’s internal capabilities, these critical improvements will strengthen the interface between rail and road and build a safer network for local communities across our network footprint.
Agricultural Supply Chain Improvement (ASCI) – Package 1
ASCI Package 1 will see the Midland Railway upgraded from 16 Tonne Axle Load (TAL) to 19 TAL between Mingenew and Carnamah, increasing the amount of grain that can be carried on a single train by 25 per cent.
Delivered through our internal project model, ASCI demonstrates our commitment to investing in critical supply chains and delivering more resilient and productive freight rail infrastructure for the regions.
