2 Increase Rail use? Cost Below Rail Above Rail

BELOW RAIL 3 Current – 1767mt payload – 3.5 cycles per week per train Productivity – Weight per train Axle loads Longer trains – Cycle times Train speeds Heat restrictions Cost – Access fees

ABOVE RAIL 4 Rollingstock – Locos – Wagons Loading / Unloading infrastructure – GrainCorp Project Regeneration

Industry Investment? 5 Where are the new wagons, locomotives and trials being brought into the industry?

Increasing rail use 6 Cost against road transport – Productivity Quality of track – Heat restrictions – Axle loads Above rail – New wagons – Loco capability – Longer trains – Reduce cycle times Project Regeneration - GrainCorp investment in outload capacity Line speeds Available passing loops

9 Eastern Australia’s inefficient rail Best Practice Eastern Australia Current Eastern Australia Western Australia Rail Transport Cost Curves (1) $/ Tonne Canadian National (1) Research and modeling by Partners in Performance For similar hauls, rail transport cost in eastern Australia is up to: $10pt higher than West Australia $20pt higher than Canada 1. Slow rail loading capability: Delay from loading Unreliability and cancellation Underloaded wagons & trains 2. Limited rail siding capability: Breaking trains over 2-3 sites Delays from shunting Grain prices are up to $10 pt lower due to inefficient rail Inefficient rail from slow rail loading & limited siding capability

Rail is losing volume to road Share of bulk export grain moved by rail has fallen from 90% to 50% This represents a modal shift from rail to road for 2Mt of export grain Supply chain is less effective with 2Mt export grain moved to road 1. Increased use of road limits the ability to move export grain: Reduce supply chain capacity Complexity reduces reliability 2. Increased use of road creates external and public costs: Road damage Safety and environment Road undermines effective supply chain capacity to service export 2Mt lost to road 10
