Victoria must be the only state left with a rail based lcl freight system.
AN and Westrail got rid of theirs years ago, Trackfast in NSW bit the dust
last year (?) and Q-link in Qld is road operated for much of its operation.
In fact, the Coalition had it in its policy to privatise Q-link, which would
probably mean that it would become entirely road. So how come V/line can
still run such a system profitably within such a small area as Victoria?
