Police have removed another coal protester suspended above the train line at Sandgate's Hunter River Rail Bridge.
17-year-old Ballyn Teagle remained ten metres above the tracks for nearly an hour and a half, stopping the passage of freight rail into Kooragang.
He's live streamed the protest on Facebook, on behalf of the Frontline Action on Coal group.
"We're calling for executives and lobbyists, also the public, to renounce coal and stop thinking within their wallets and start thinking towards a brighter future," Mr Teagle said.
A male supporter in the area has been taken to Waratah Police Station, where he's being charged with aiding and abetting and trespass.
It comes after a woman did the same thing on Monday, resulting in her being charged with entering enclosed lands and causing obstruction to a locomotive.
A man and woman were also charged on Monday after lingering in the vicinity and live streaming video; all three will face Newcastle Local Court tomorrow.
