Greater Hume

Inland Rail is a fast freight line that will be delivered in stages to connect Australia while generating regional opportunities during construction and beyond.

We’re upgrading 185km of existing rail track between Albury and Illabo at 24 sites, including three within the Greater Hume LGA, to allow double-stacked freight trains to pass safely and ensure everyday products can be delivered faster and more reliably.
