Goonyella coal rail system reopens in Australia's Queensland

The Goonyella coal rail system in Queensland Australia has reopened after cyclone damage halted operations in late March, cutting off much of the world's sea-traded coking coal used in steelmaking, operator Aurizon says.

Goonyella, used extensively by BHP Billiton (BHP -0.9%), is the last of Aurizon's four systems in the Central Queensland Coal Network to re-open to coal trains, although they are operating under reduced capacity.
