1800 metres is still the length limit, but tonnage can be above that. SCT run the highest tonnage freighters ~6000 tonnes west bound, whilst the mineral sands when running it is ~9300 tonnes loaded west bound. Once those tonnages [above 6000, I think it is] are on the ARC network [WA] they are limited to 80 kph.
There used to be a limit of 5000 Tonnes and 1800 mteter train length. Does that still apply. Love your videos.

@@shiftpigrail How much weigh on the iron ore train to Esperance.
They 'work' on 92 tonnes per waggon with consists of 106, 126 and 160 with DPU. So up to 14,720 for the 160 DPU consist.
@@shiftpigrail Thank you for all of that information.
Not a problem.
