The obligation
Cane railways that intersect Queensland Rail lines operate under cane crossing agreements that include a jointly developed Interface Risk Management Plan.
Safe train movement and maintenance at drawbridge or diamond crossings with the Queensland Rail North Coast Line are managed by interface agreements between Queensland Rail and cane rail operators. Queensland Rail controlled drawbridges and diamond crossings have a derailment device that forces rolling stock off the track if it enters without clearance, and drivers should know where these are and traverse them with caution.
