During this period One Rail Australia is responsible for ongoing care, security and maintenance that includes maintaining the working order of all equipment, i.e. level crossings, signals, controls and switches so that a train can operate within 24 hours notice and will reinstate at its own cost if an access seeker negotiates to return a train to operation. The discontinued track is transferred back to the South Australian Government after five years if services do not return.{{cite web |url=http://www.rdamr.org.au/fileadmin/user_upload/Riverland/documents/Mallee_Freight_Study__FINAL.pdf| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150316061154/http://www.rdamr.org.au/fileadmin/user_upload/Riverland/documents/Mallee_Freight_Study__FINAL.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=2015-03-16|title=Freight Study and Rail Operations Investigation South Australian Mallee |author= |date=2014 |website=Regional Development Australia |publisher=Regional Development Australia - Murraylands and Riverland Inc.|access-date=17 July 2022}}}}
