Works to connect a new grain terminal at North Shore (near Geelong) are imminent and final planning is underway for a similar project to follow at Tocumwal, which will further increase volumes of grain moved by rail to port.
In April 2025, V/Line leased 10 N-Class locomotives to a private freight operator Southern Shorthaul Railroad on a long-term agreement and they are now hauling freight across network to support the significant growth in grain and intermodal haulage.
Additional locomotives will enter lease arrangements later in 2025.
Has there been any further works on this new spur line?
