Great Northern Railway (Mt Isa line)
The Great Northern Railway is a narrow gauge railway line in Queensland, Australia. The line stretches nearly 1,000 kilometres linking the port city of Townsville, Australia to the mining town of Mount Isa in north-west Queensland. Along with a passenger service called the Inlander, it is a major freight route connecting the Mount Isa Mines to the Townsville Port. In 2010 the line moved 5.8 million tonnes of cargo, and this is expected to increase significantly in coming years.〔(Mount Isa System Rail Infrastructure Master Plan ) Queensland Rail, retrieved 25 December 2011〕
==History==
Originally approved in 1877,〔Kerr, J. 'Triumph of Narrow Gauge', Boolarong Publications 1990〕 its construction over nearly thirty years along with the building of other lines in Queensland was dictated by the pressing need to transport minerals and wool from isolated inland areas to the coast for shipment.
