    The length of this line if set in the 70's would be about 173 km (107 mi). Both fright and passanger services would be possible. The location of this route is Queensland, Australia. dont know how many stations there are or how many yards (at least 2). This route would include Mayne yard where locomotive and carriage sheds are located.
    Fright service as of current go via the Exhibition loop while commuter train go via the main corridor. I'm not sure how it worked back then if that was the case the addition of the the extra bit of track would only add an additional about 4km of route bringing to total route length up to 177 km (109 mi)
