| has gloss | eng: The Southern Sydney Freight Line (SSFL) is a railway line under construction in the south-western suburbs of Sydney, Australia. At present, a curfew for non-passenger trains operates in the Sydney suburban area during peak hours, restricting the movement of freight in Sydney to off-peak periods. The proposed line would form a dedicated corridor between Port Botany and Macarthur which would allow the movement of freight at any time. The line would allow greater efficiency in both commuter and freight services, and would form an important part in the development of the operations of Port Botany. The line will be managed by the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC), who undertook the Environmental Impact Assessment in 2005, with an estimated budget of $175 million. |
