About In the mid-1990s, National Rail decided to discontinue the use of refrigerated vans, louvred vans, and boxcars on its trains. At the same time, Australia's rail network was being opened up to enable private operators the use of publicly owned railway track. SCT had a customer base who wished to retain their use, so a number of surplus covered wagons were acquired, and hook and pull agreements were agreed with V/Line Freight (Melbourne to Adelaide) and Australian National (Adelaide to Perth) to haul the trains. In July 1995, SCT began operating a weekly service from Melbourne to Perth. The initial terminals for the service were at Dynon in Melbourne, Keswick in Adelaide and Kewdale in Perth. These were later replaced by purpose built facilities at Laverton North, Penfield and Forrestfield. In February 2007, SCT purchased nine G class locomotives and leased three NR class locomotives from Pacific National until SCT's own fleet of SCT locomotives were delivered. This was to comply with an undertaking given by Toll Holdings to the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission as part of it acquiring control of Pacific National. In February 2010, SCT Logistics commenced operating between Melbourne and Brisbane service with its wagons included in Aurizon operated services. In January 2017, it began operating its own Melbourne to Brisbane services having opened a terminal in Bromelton. In January 2022, SCT Logistics commenced operating bulk trains of steel products from Melbourne to Adelaide and Perth under contract to BlueScope.
