The company operates and manages the 2,670km Central Queensland Coal Network linking mines to coal ports at Bowen, Mackay and Gladstone.
Aurizon Network executive vice president Mike Carter said that a proper assessment of damage to the network can be ascertained with floodwaters now starting to recede.
"While the extent of the damage is not as bad as 2011 and the majority of our network is unaffected, a number of parts of the network have been impacted," Carter noted.
Carter continued that the Newlands and Goonyella systems were operating normally; with several areas including the Moura and Blackwater Systems continuing to remain closed.
"Repairs have commenced and at this stage we expect the Blackwater system to re-open by the end of the week.
"Given the extent of the damage in these areas we are expecting to open the Moura system progressively west from Boundary Hill from February 18th with the last section impacting mines at Baralaba and Moura not to open until February 25th," Carter informed.
