"Police stopped this vehicle and spoke to the male occupant," State Rural Crime Co-ordinator Detective Inspector Cameron Whiteside said.
"A subsequent search of the vehicle located a number of railway infrastructure items in the tub of the vehicle.
"Investigations over the last week resulted in the male not being authorised to be in the railway corridor and investigators will allege that he stole the railway infrastructure items."
