QUEENSLAND Rail (QR) has hit back at criticism over the decision to stall the Northern Missing Link rail project, claiming it would be financially irresponsible to proceed in the current economic climate.
QR executive general manager Mike Carter has addressed the company's critics in a letter to the editor on Page 9 of today's Daily Mercury.
The Queensland Government-owned company has faced strong opposition to the halting of the project that would connect the Goonyella rail system to the Abbot Point Coal Terminal near Bowen.
Mackay region community leaders said the project should go ahead to ensure the crippling rail bottleneck problems of the past
few years were not repeated and to create much-needed jobs.
