### Overview

**About Inland Rail**

Inland Rail is an approximately 1,600km freight rail network that will connect Melbourne and Brisbane via regional Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. It will enhance our national freight and supply chain capabilities, connecting existing freight routes through rail, roads and ports, and supporting Australia's growth. By better linking businesses, manufacturers and producers to national and global markets, Inland Rail will generate opportunities for industries and regions during construction and beyond. Comprising 12 individual projects, Inland Rail is the largest freight rail infrastructure project in Australia and will enable safer, less congested highways, fewer carbon emissions, cheaper freight costs and new economic opportunities for our regions. Inland Rail Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of ARTC, is building Inland Rail on behalf of the Australian Government and all Australians, in partnership with communities.

**Albury to Illabo and Stockinbingal to Parkes enhancements**

Works in the Albury to Illabo and Stockinbingal to Parkes sections involve extensive enhancements to specific sites across the 355km of existing track running from Albury to Parkes. These enhancements will provide the necessary vertical and horizontal clearance along the existing 'Main South Line' corridor to support the safe running of double-stacked freight trains up to 1,800m long and 6.5m high.

**Albury to Illabo**

The 185km of existing rail corridor from Albury to Illabo includes adjustments to approximately 44km of existing tracks. The enhancement project comprises works at specific sites to achieve horizontal and vertical clearance requirements for double-stacked trains. The works include track slews and reconfigurations, bridge removals, bridge modifications, bridge replacements, track lowering, signalling gantry replacements and level crossing modifications.
