Australia’s massive iron ore trains operate without drivers!
The Chichester Range in the Pilbara, Western Australia challenges some of the biggest Iron Ore Trains in the world. The Rio Tinto Iron Ore network crosses the ranges around 80 kilometres south of Karratha. These hills challenge trains on both the climb and descent with steep grades on both sides of the hills.
