New infrastructure in Vic?



Hi people,

With the sale of what was VLF to Freight Victoria, there are supposedly
plans to spend $36m in infrastructure in the next two years or so.

Quoting from http://www.vic.gov.au/domino/web_notes/pressrel.nsf/

"Freight Victoria will invest $36 million in the first two years to improve
infrastructure, modernise or replace parts of V/Line Freight's locomotive
fleet as well as upgrade the Geelong grain loop to include standard gauge."

Does anyone know what exactly this is likely to involve?  New locos?
Refurbishing old ones?  (Buying back the C class leftovers?...(optimistic
thinking I know!))

And on a slightly different note, if FV or VLP were to invest in new
rollingstock, which is inevitable in the future, what sort of stuff would
they get?  Are VLP planning to purchase more Sprinters?
