Crawfords Freightlines is a freight transportation company based in Sandgate, New South Wales.

Road services

Crawfords Freightlines operates 100 trucks out of Sandgate and Gracemere.[1]

Rail Services

PHC class locomotives at Cowan in April 2016

Crawfords Freightlines operates a daily freight train from Sandgate to Port Botany carrying intermodal containers. All crew and logistics services are provided by Sydney Rail Services.[2] The service commenced in 2012 using the accreditation of El Zorro and then Espee Railroad Services. Sydney Rail Services gained its own accreditation in November 2013.[3]

Initially the service was hauled by C class locomotives leased from Greentrains. These were replaced in February 2016 by two UGL Rail C44acis purchased by Crawfords.[1][4][5]

In January of 2017 Crawfords operated a couple of trail services out of Goulburn, transporting containerised logs, and in late May/June of that year, they were successful in acquiring that work along with Scrap Metal out of the ACT permanently. In June 28, 2018 Crawfords was awarded the contract by Heron Resources Limited to provide road and rail transportation services for its Woodlawn Zinc-Cooper Project near Goulburn in New South Wales.[6]

Major plans for this company in 2018, have started becoming public knowledge, with a DA submitted with the LPSC, for the development of a intermodal transport facility at Werris Creek NSW.
