Toowoomba-Brisbane Passenger Rail Link
Sector: Energy Storage • Location: Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia
Source: The Chronicle | The Chronicle
A bold plan to connect Toowoomba to Brisbane by passenger rail, extending Brisbane's Ipswich rail line from Rosewood to Withcott, with stops at Plainland and Gatton. An intermodal hub at Withcott will link passengers to Toowoomba by bus, avoiding costly mountain drilling. The proposal includes potential use of battery-powered rollingstock to save on electrification costs.
