"six-car passenger trains" https://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/projects/programs/queensland-train-manufacturing-program Fortunatly, the BC mentality wasn't able to reach & influence Queensland.

Vancouver really needs 10 car trains, but its tough enough just to eventually run 5 car trains.

Apparently, its better to just funnel everything onto a narrow bridge that's already overloaded with general traffic flow.
