: Just heard today a private rail freight line will be laid between Melb and
: Darwin via Sheparton - Griffith ! Cost- only a couple of Billion hard
: ones...WHY?, Wouldn't it be more sensible to link Alice to Darwin, and use
: infustructure already in place? Go through Sheparton and Grifith if they
: have to, but then why not then go via Broken hill?
: However, I suppose there could be various mines allong the way?
: - What do you think?
The very short answer is there is more traffic to be had by laying and
connecting an inland route through the eastern states than simply joining
Alice Springs and Darwin by rail.
