Cougal Spiral on the XPT

The Cougal Spiral is a section of Railway located just south of the NSW-QLD border. Having a grade of 1.5%, the XPT descends the border ranges before heading to Kyogle and then to Sydney. This is the only service where you can appreciate the spiral since the Sydney to Brisbane service traverses this section at night #xpt #nswtrainlink #railway
