There are reportedly at least five unsolicited proposals being developed for presentation to the NSW Dept. of Premier and Cabinet involving the construction of rail corridors, with one apparently involving a Chinese consortium wanting to install an additional freight rail line to Port Kembla.
So it is interesting to watch how they are all competing in the public relations stakes.
