Inland Rail 

Australia’s population surges towards an estimated 40 million by 2050, the need for a robust freight network has never been more pressing. 

#InlandRail is laying the tracks for a faster, more reliable and efficient, future-proofed freight network. Some of the benefits include: 

Less congested roads: a 1800m double-stacked freight train carries the equivalent of 110 B-double trucks, meaning less trucks on our roads 

Reduced carbon emissions: rail is 4x more fuel-efficient than road transport 

Fast and reliable: rail freight travel time between Melbourne and Brisbane will be cut by almost a third
