In a desperate move to rally support from their city cousins, dozens of farmers and truck drivers from around the state are gathering on the doorsteps of Brookfield Rail and the Transport Ministers office today to protest the Tier 3 rail closures. More than 500 kilometres of track was shut down yesterday as a result of what farmers believe is inaction by Brookfield Rail, which leases the lines, and the State Government, which owns the lines. Grain growers fear the rail closures will result in a less efficient transport system and will cost them more to transport their grain to port.
