An experiment on a new type of light rail track has started at the National Arboretum.
The 20-metre x 30-metre ”Green Track Prototype” runs sections of steel rail through four garden beds filled with different species of grass, other low-lying plants, and trees.
It’s a test bed to see whether the same greenery can be replicated along various sections of Canberra’s light rail network, and flourish despite Canberra’s harsh climate.
