This was from ARTC on Friday: NHC (and WHC/YAL) coal trains use the Broadmeadow - Maitland - Moree line to deliver coal to the Port of Newcastle:

The Australian Rail Track Corporation’s (ARTC) Hunter Valley network in New South Wales has been hit by heavy rainfall and moderate flooding since Wednesday impacting coal, freight and passenger services.

Localised flooding has resulted in rail closures in a number of locations across the network.

ARTC is closely monitoring the weather conditions but further rain is forecast throughout the day and with a pending high tide and the potential for additional flood waters, the line will remain closed in the immediate future while ARTC continues to monitor the track condition.

Once flood waters recede and weather conditions improve, ARTC will conduct in-depth track inspections and conduct any necessary repairs due to water damage. We will then be able to provide a firm forecast regarding a return to operations
