Just Track

What Just Track does

Just Track is a privately held Australian rail and civil construction company founded in 1990 by Wayne Eames and headquartered in Wodonga, Victoria. The company supplies specialized equipment and experienced operators to major Australian rail infrastructure projects under contract, working with tier-1 contractors (Martinus, John Holland / Coleman JV, Lang O'Rourke, BMD) and government agencies (ARTC, V-Line). Its service footprint spans Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, and South Australia, covering flagship projects such as Inland Rail, Gold Coast Light Rail, Moorebank Terminal, and the Murray Basin gauge conversion.

Just Track's core offering is an integrated equipment-plus-operator package built around a customized fleet of Volvo front-end loaders (L180E, L150E, L120F, L90F) configured for rail work with features like quick-release fork/jib/bucket attachments and L5 extreme lug tyres. The fleet is supplemented by a Western Star Road Transferable Locomotive built by Brandt Power in Canada for broad gauge ballasting, five 25-tonne hopper wagons with wireless remote control and hydraulic chutes, and a ballast box system. Together, these enable Just Track to deliver end-to-end rail construction services including track laying, turnout and crossover installation, welding, surfacing, overhead wiring, signalling, ballast operations, and general loader duties on construction sites.

The company operates on a project-based equipment-rental-with-operators revenue model with contract pricing determined by scope, equipment type, operator requirements, and duration; no pricing is publicly disclosed. It employs 7 people and relies primarily on direct relationship-based sales and project partnerships rather than structured marketing, supported by a basic website and Facebook page. The business is founder-owned with no evidence of external institutional investment.
