ABOUT INLAND RAIL
Inland Rail is a once-in-a-generation project that will enhance
supply chains and complete the backbone of the national
freight network by providing for a transit time of 24 hours or
less for freight trains between Melbourne and Brisbane via
regional Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.
Comprising of 13 individual projects and spanning more than 1,700km,
Inland Rail is the largest freight rail infrastructure project in Australia and one
of the most significant infrastructure projects in the world.
Construction of Inland Rail commenced in late 2018 and is expected to be
completed in 2025.
Inland Rail will provide greater freight carrying capacity, as it is designed for
double-stacked trains up to 1,800m long, each of which will be able to carry
the same volume of freight as 110 B-Double trucks.
