How much would it cost to build SG line from Murwillumbah to
Coolangatta?? I guess it would be expensive as some bridge
construction would be involved. Would a freight train yard included in
the project??

Better then Murwillmbah anyway. Coolangatta is much more center located
then Murwillmbah. You could also take train from Brisbane all the way to
Byron Bay anyway(involving change train and midnight arrival). Would
GSPE/Queenslander Sydney extension run via Byron Bay/Murwillmbah and
Coolangatta instead once this link completed?? It would capture more
passengers for sure.
