As most transportation need would be just from ISA to DRW (for
exporting the mining products) a 1435mm gauge on that line won't be a
problem.
In Spain a new Barcelona-Madrid line to be built there is an option to
build it with *three* (or four to get equal wear) rails per track:
1435mm European gauge for the French TGV and 1668mm for the Spanish
Talgo and cargo trains.
Why not such an option (1067 / 1435mm) for new (and existing) lines in
Australia ?
