Strengthened lines for bigger trains

HEAVIER freight trains will travel rail tracks through the Loddon when latest works are finished.

A V/Line crew has been based at Mitiamo since last week as a sleeper renewal program starts.

V/Line said the program on tracks between Bendigo and Swan Hill to would allow the line to carry larger freight trains. Infrastructure is also being upgraded between Inglewood and Korong Vale used by Sea Lake and Manangatang line freight trains.

“The Inglewood track works will pave the way for further improvement of the rail freight network this year, enabling larger, heavier trains to operate between Inglewood and Dunolly,” V/Line said.

“All rail between Inglewood and Korong Vale has been welded as part of the works, which are being completed as part of V/Line’s major periodic maintenance.

“We’re delivering critical rail infrastructure upgrades at Inglewood - this is just one of the many projects we are delivering to improve the safety and reliability of Victoria’s rail freight network, including in the north west.”
