Australia's A$10 billion Melbourne-Brisbane 1700-kilometre inland rail project is the commonwealth's biggest rail project in 100 years.

The federal government has committed A$8.4 billion equity investment to the Australian Rail Track Corporation for the project, which is predicted to benefit a wide range of industries and create intermodal facilities and logistic hubs in strategic locations as well as increase industrial land values near the rail route.
Major players including Linfox, Ceva Logistics, Toll Holdings, DB Schenker, DHL and others are expected to use the new service.
