Wallan Railway Station: Track slewing works, 26 February-13 March 2024
Inland Rail will undertake track slewing works at the Wallan Railway Station from Monday, 26 February.
What is track slewing?
Track slewing involves unclipping and cutting of the existing rail track, moving the track horizontally and rebuilding the relocated rail sections.
Inland Rail is a nation building project that will transform how goods are moved around Australia, generating opportunities for our regions and our economy, now and into the future. In Victoria, works will be undertaken along the North East line to increase clearances to enable double-stacked freight trains to pass safely.
What can I expect?
Between 6am on Saturday, 9 March and 6pm on Monday, 11 March, there is a rail possession where trains will not be running and works will take place around-the-clock, including throughout the night.
The work will take place within the rail corridor, with minimal impact to road users.
Coaches will replace trains on:
- Monday, 4 March
- from 6am Saturday, 9 March to 6pm Monday, 11 March.
