Overland on rails 
     THE immediate future of the historic Overland train service, in operation
for more than 114 years, has been secured by $3 million in funding from the
Victorian and South Australian governments.
     Victorian Transport Minister Peter Batchelor said the Government would
provide $750,000 a year for two years, to be matched by South Australia, to
keep the service running.
     He said a failure by the Federal Government to subsidise the Overland had
placed the future of the service in doubt.
