> Queensland councils push for new Toowoomba passenger rail after federal cuts Inland Rail
> 
> Three southeast Queensland councils will ramp up pressure on the state and federal governments to fund a new passenger rail route to the state’s largest inland city.
> 
> Toowoomba Regional Council will look to get a formal proposal for a major extension to Brisbane’s current electrified network in front of both state Transport Minister Brent Mickelberg and Australian Infrastructure Minister Catherine King soon.
> 
> The plan, dubbed The Range due to its similarities to the Sunshine Coast’s The Wave, would see the Rosewood line extended to Withcott at the foot of the Toowoomba Range.
