Many readers may be thinking now that because they don’t use rail as a means of transport they should not care about rail, and there is where they are wrong! When we say that rail affects everyone’s life, we refer to passenger services, but also we are talking about the enormous impact that rail freight has in the community and in Australia’s economy. Have you ever stopped to think how some food products get to your table? Even simple things like wine and beer are moved largely by rail.
