There is also a five nights a week freight train conveying containers between Melbourne Freight Terminal and the West vic siding just past Warrnambool. It is operated by Patrick Corporation, a subsidiary of Asciano Limited, who took over the service in October 2008 after El Zorro lost the contract, who themselves took over after the withdrawal of Pacific National in March 2008.

The line originally continued west to Port Fairy and is now being converted into the Port Fairy to Warrnambool Rail Trail. A short branch also ran from the station to the pier. Between 1993 and 2004 the private company West Coast Railway operated passenger trains on the line. After their demise V/Line have been operating the passenger service.
