 The NSW TrainLink XPT passenger service operates along the route, as do a number of other freight and passenger services.Originally the corridor was made up of the Queensland Rail narrow gauge Southern line and the New South Wales Government Railways standard gauge line that met at Wallangarra at a break-of-gauge in 1888.It was not until 1930 that the coastal, standard gauge North Coast line was extended from Casino to Brisbane making through services possible, using a rail ferry for the river crossing in Grafton until the Grafton Bridge opened in 1932.
