Coal exports had declined and were disappointing as this was largely due to under-performance through poor management in the past and operational problems which had been turned around by the last quarter of 2009/10. In the current financial year, there were positive signs of growth that could reach an all-time high of 71 million tonnes for export. The exporting of iron ore showed an 11% compound growth, which would continue to the 2010/11 financial year. Although old locomotive technology was used, the longest trains had included 342 wagons, which was a major engineering feat.
