Inland Rail

Inland Rail Inland Rail is a major freight rail line now under construction. Inland Rail is a 1,600km freight rail line, now under construction.

It is being delivered in stages to connect Australia while generating regional opportunities during construction and beyond. It will connect Melbourne and Brisbane via regional Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. Inland Rail involves enhancing approximately 1,000km of existing railway track and constructing 600km of new track passing through regional Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.

The sections of Inland Rail between Beveridge in Victoria and Parkes in New South Wales are prioritised for completion in 2027. Inland Rail Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC), is building Inland Rail on behalf of the Australian Government. Work on Australia’s largest freight rail infrastructure project is well underway, and we’re partnering with regional businesses and communities to make it happen. As each section of Inland Rail is completed, it will be operated and managed by ARTC. View the route: https://inlandrail.com.au/where-we-go/

We often talk about double-stacked trains, but you don’t see them every day so...here’s a close up! Double-stacked trains can carry two layers of freight containers, like in this video. As you can see, they’re taller than normal trains.💥
This is why so much of Inland Rail construction work involves bridges and track lowering. We need to upgrade existing infrastructure to make room for double-stacked trains. 👏

Having a blast of a time in southern NSW…💥🫨 After significant preparation, controlled blasting recently commenced on the Illabo to Stockingbingal section of Inland Rail.
Blasting is undertaken as an efficient way to move what is referred to as 'unrippable rock'...rock so dense it can't easily be broken down by standard earth-work machinery. Controlled blasting ensures construction efficiency along the alignment as we progress towards building the rail line.
It's another exciting component of work for this section of the project. 👏

Installing a 64-tonne bridge structure over an active rail corridor takes careful planning and precise ex*****on. 🏗️

Our teams successfully lifted the new Mothers Bridge structure into place in just *five* hours during a scheduled rail possession in Wagga Wagga, NSW!

What happens when a 52 metre, 60 tonne steel bridge crosses paths with a tight roundabout? 👀

This gigantic, oversized load was manoeuvred on a specialised ‘jinker’ truck from Newcastle to our Inland Rail worksite in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales.

Months of detailed planning went into moving the bridge truss safely on-site, and our crews made it look seamless!

It's all happening down south...from track lowering, demolitions, and the newest section of Inland Rail to go into construction, there's been no shortage of epic construction content for us to share.

Building a railway line for double-stacked freight trains = lots of track lowering!
Check out our team's recent work at the Hume Freeway bridge in Tallarook.

Fly-through our Illabo to Stockinbingal section!

Our new 3D visualisation shows the entire 39km long rail corridor, complete with bridges, crossing loops and level crossings.

Sit back and enjoy this bird’s eye view of the alignment on our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fEr-aPnQGA

Construction is well and truly underway on our 39km section of new track between Illabo and Stockinbingal in southern NSW. 🛠️

This is significant — it's our first greenfield section that we're building from scratch, rather than enhancing existing railway lines. It will also open a more efficient way to transport freight, bypassing the winding, steep Bethungra Spiral.

We’re working hard to complete construction of sections between Beveridge, Victoria and Parkes, NSW.

In May, crews worked around the clock to complete a variety of work across southern NSW and Victoria. Like Short Street bridge in Broadford, where we lowered the track so double-stacked freight trains can safely pass underneath.

Making strong progress down south 💪

Here's everything we achieved during the May 96-hour track possession across Victoria and southern NSW.
