The Queensland Government says it will increase the size of tunnels through the Toowoomba range so trains can carry larger containers through to the Port of Brisbane.


It says $17 million will be spent lowering the floors of 11 tunnels from next year, with planning already underway to build two passing loops to improve rail traffic.


The Government says the improvements will benefit southern Queensland's grain and cotton industries.
