Work Starts on Rail Link Through Outback
From Times Wire Reports
Workers began laying tracks for a railroad that will complete Australia’s north-south rail link and provide a new trade route to Asia.
The $685-million, 880-mile line that will cross the desert Outback will link Darwin--Australia’s closest seaport to Asia--with the central city of Alice Springs, where it will connect with an existing railway to the southern coastal city of Adelaide. The line has been planned for a century.
