		Resuming the journey in an easterly direction from Morwell, the railway passes through the rising centre of Traralgon, which is composed for the most part of buildings so substantial in their character as to attest the confidence which is entertained in the stability of the resources of the surrounding district.

		The Spencer Street railway station imposes a $1.7 billion burden on future taxpayers without the benefit of one extra train.
		You can bet that this railway embellishment of the new toll road/tunnel will last as long as it takes the State Government to discover that the best way of financing the deal is via a public-private partnership (because the Government isn't prepared to borrow the money).
