Chiltern SG Loop, VIC



For those interested works have begun on the lengthening of Chiltern loop.

The Rail was drooped of in the North end of the loop around 2 weeks ago
as indicated by previous posts.

Today, Tuesday the 17th of August, earth works have just begun in clearing the
area where the lengthened part of the loop will lie.    A grader, backhoe and a roller are
on site.  The ground looks very boggy which is a direct result of heavy rains over the
previous weekend.

Any idea what the expected completion date for the lengthening of the loop is?

As works have begun, when will ballast trains be running and any other associated.
work trains for this and other loops in the North East of Victoria?

Do GNRS have the contract for the ballast trains as they did with the rail and are we
likely to se 22 or 27 in the North East?
