Route map
Inland Rail is a 1600-kilometre (990 mi) railway line under construction in Australia. Once complete, it will connect the Melbourne and Brisbane along a new route inland through Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland that allows for the use of double-stacked freight trains.
Construction of the line is divided into 13 projects, with 600 kilometres (370 mi) of new track to be built and 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) of existing track to be upgraded or modified.[1] Inland Rail Pty Ltd,[2] a subsidiary of Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC), is constructing the rail line on behalf of the Australian Government.
