Re: New Link in SE Qld ?

The so-called railway formation you are talking about is at the foot of the
D'Aguilar Range and is connected with the Bracalba Quarry. Trucks heading
west on the D'Aguilar Highway turn off to the left (southern side of the
Highway), follow the "railway" formation around under a height gauge (your
electrication pylons) then under the D'Aguilar Highway to end up at the
quarry proper where they are loaded and re-enter the D'Aguilar Highway on
the northern side and then head back towards Caboolture. The quarry trucks
do not have to cross in front of road traffic on the D'Aguilar Highway. The
road is also widened here top 4-lanes allowing a turning/merging lane. If
the empty truck is coming from the west to get a load it leaves the Highway
on the northern side, loads, passes under the Highway and re-enters on the
southern side to head west again. Note the so-called "railway" formation
never has been and is not intended to be a railway formation. It is just a
road.
