Australia’s Glenfield Junction Alliance has received the 2014 Railway Project of the Year Award by the Railway Technical Society of Australasia (RTSA) for its work on the Glenfield Junction project, which formed a critical part of the South West Rail Link Glenfield Transport Interchange project in New South Wales.

Measuring less than 502km (18 square miles), the city is huddled against the coast, squeezed between two mountains (appropriately called East Rock and West Rock) that, at 111m and 213m (366ft and 700ft) respectively, can hardly be called mountains. The airport is small and has limited service, and th
