Paywall blocking my access Barrah .
But rail is right up our alley and, as well as feeling hopeful about Rio, my thoughts keep wandering off toweards Balla Balla where a major NRW past supporter, Peter Thomas, has been in charge of organising ‘things ‘( including 162 km of rail) for the last six months .
I think it’s been listed before but here’s the story again :

“Mr Thomas headed up the development of Fortescue’s port and rail network in the Pilbara“

Seems to me this FMG ‘port and rail network ‘ was largely created by NRW Holdings during a period of mutual admiration and respect between the companies which seemed to operate until Fortescue decided to cut costs and chucked Peter (along with others ) four years ago https://www.smh.com.au/business/com...cutives-in-iron-ore-rout-20141203-11z7en.html

Here’s some history:
2007 : https://nrw.com.au/project/greenfields-rail-formation/
“The Fortescue Rail and Camp Project, Team 45 Project established NRW’s reputation with Fortescue Metals Group.”
2012 : https://nrw.com.au/project/solomon-spur-rail-project/
And ( across a number of years ) Christmas Creek Rail extension : https://nrw.com.au/project/christmas-creek-rail-extension/
“Working through difficult terrain, NRW’s scope included rail embankment construction, access roads, reinforced earth walls, a steel girder bridge with a cast in-situ bridge deck, rail crossing and signal pads and construction of a fuel unloading rail spur.
Portions of the works were carried out adjacent to live rail, an operational haul road and heritage sites which required sensitive drill and blast.
Works were completed without disruption to Fortescue’s critical ore movements.”
