    Posted in Victoria » Grain silos served by rail

    An article in the "Country News" supplement to todays Shepparton News says Graincorp and district grain growers are calling for the re-opening of the Dookie line. Graincorp want to spend money upgrading the site but want to use rail to export grain.

    Sounds like a good idea. Why was this line allowed to sit there and rot anyhow?

    I am aware this is not the first request for access made to Vline/Victrack since the line was disconnected from the junction near Shepparton.
