US engineering giant Bechtel is reported to be in talks over joining a consortium fighting to build a major new rail line stretching 1,595km between Brisbane and Melbourne in Australia.
Bechtel joining would boost the project team’s credibility in the eyes of the Australian federal government, which must choose between two rival visions of the US$8.8bn Inland Railway scheme that is needed to boost freight capacity, the consortium’s chief said.
