A$25m upgrade for rail link between Mt Isa and Townsville

The Mt Isa rail line, in Queensland, has been given a significant boost, with the state government on Friday announcing a A$25-million investment to improve the reliability of the rail line.

Transport Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said the investment would support 75 regional jobs and deliver a more stable and reliable track structure for freight services by replacing steel sleepers with concrete.
