Queensland is one step closer to building its next passenger train fleet after shortlisting three leading train manufacturers to enter the next phase of the Rollingstock Expansion Program.
Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said it builds on the two hundred and eighty three jobs saved by the Palaszczuk Government in 2017, and all up delivers a $1 billion guaranteed pipeline of train building work in Maryborough.
Assistant Minister for Train Manufacturing Bruce Saunders said the Palaszczuk Government is committed to a new era of rail manufacturing in Queensland.
