"AUSTRALIA: Construction of the 1 700 km Melbourne – Brisbane Inland Rail freight corridor was officially launched on December 13 when Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack turned a ceremonial first sod in Parkes, NSW.
Scheduled to be completed in 2025, the Inland Rail project includes the construction of 600 km of new alignment and the upgrading of 1 100 km of existing line. The Melbourne – Brisbane transit time would be under 24 h, competitive with road haulage, and the Australasian Railway Association said the line would significantly improve capacity, allow north-south freight movements to bypass Sydney, and would provide environmental and safety benefits by removing lorry movements from roads."

The only train trips I regret are the ones I didn't take.
