Rail Corridor Upgrades

In an effort made by BHP Billiton Iron Ore to improve the safety around their railway network and reduce the chances of a fatal accident, a request for the upgrade of 9 railway crossings was made.
Austral then proceeded to complete the necessary upgrade works across the Newman mainline, Chichester Diversion, and the MAC main line.
