Patrick and Port of Melbourne sign agreement for rail terminal at East Swanson Dock
Unless I'm grossly mistaken, (and please forgive my ignorance), there's no river to cross.$15m for two 600metre sidings??? There's already track to the Patrick Coode Rd terminal.Just because track is there doesnt mean its in useable condition, let alone trying to get across the river.
Are they using gold Pandrol clips?

Perhaps the $15 million includes digging a river.Unless I'm grossly mistaken, (and please forgive my ignorance), there's no river to cross.$15m for two 600metre sidings???

200,000 div by 50 (weeks per year) = 4,000
4,000 div by 6 (days per week) = 666
666 div by 78 (containers per train) = 8.5

Found this linked on facebook. So I guess a couple of new roads, proper hardstand and pointwork does explain the cost.Hmm, will the triangle be used to turn whole trains?
Interesting, thanks HistorianHmm, will the triangle be used to turn whole trains?I read it that the plan is that 1500m trains will be brought into the existing sidings adjacent to Appleton Dock, then broken up into 600m chunks and shunted back around the new connection to the new East Swanson Dock sidings.
