INLAND RAIL
IN WANGARATTA
Wangaratta Station Precinct is located along the existing North East Rail
corridor in Victoria. This site needs modifications to provide the clearances
needed to enable the safe passage of double-stacked freight trains. Taller
freight trains need 7.1m in vertical clearance and around 4.5m of horizontal
clearance to safely run on the track.
