An Independent candidate for Grey is backing calls from the community for the restoration of the Eyre Peninsula Rail.
Anita Kuss says the project would improve road safety, eliminate congestion through Cummins and Port Lincoln, and reduce wear and tear on the roads.
Ms Kuss said other options had to be sought when the rail disappeared 6 years ago, and that bringing back the rail would provide a choice for local farmers and producers.
She has committed to pushing for federal funding for the project, with strong support from state government, local councils and industry leaders.
