What's the possibility of making one track to Bendigo standard guage?
Does any freight use Sunshine-Ballarat, so, convert that to SG also before
getting new
rolling stock?
Could electric SG then be added to these for suburban use?
Ultimately, convert a track to Geelong as electrified SG?
Then a loop track to SG?
