Queensland Rail's central and northern inland tracks remain extensively disrupted by floodwaters, with freight services still unable to get past Emerald to Longreach.
QR has organised road services to take freight beyond the town until the rail line reopens.
The road is currently open from Rockhampton to Winton with all towns on route, including Winton, being serviced.
"We hope freight services will be back to normal when the line reopens later this week," a QR spokeswoman said late yesterday.
"The full extent of [the] damage is still being assessed in the west but there are significant areas where the ground has washed away under the rail line between Emerald and Longreach, requiring major repair work."
