Elevated rail could run through Melbourne's south-east in level crossing project

The Dandenong rail corridor would be rebuilt on a viaduct for much of its length, with trains running above street level through Melbourne's south-east, under a proposal to upgrade the city's busiest railway line.

Melbourne Herald-Sun, 2/6/16:

Sky train project to start on Pakenham-Cranbourne line this year

SKY trains will run nine ­metres above the ground along Melbourne’s busiest rail line as part of a $1.6 billion level crossing removal project.

The Sunday Herald Sun can reveal three sections of the line between Caulfield and Cranbourne/Pakenham will be ­replaced with new elevated tracks as part of a plan that will remove nine level crossings and create 2000 jobs during construction.
