Australia: tests start for Moreton Bay Rail Link

Moreton Bay Rail LinkAs the electrification works for the Moreton Bay Rail Link (Queensland, Australia) have finished, the 14 km double track link between Lawnton and Kippa-Ring will go through signalling and track testing before it can be commissioned.
Work began on the Moreton Bay Rail Link more than two years ago. The AUD 988 mln (USD 684.7 mln) project has been jointly funded by federal, state and local government.
The line will be open in time for the Royal Queensland Show, in August, according to Transport Minister Stirling Hinchliffe. Once opened the new line will deliver 650 train services to the region each week, linking with the main North Coast line and south east Queensland’s transport network.
