Concerns about Tasmania's rail infrastructure continue to overshadow the State Government's efforts to sell its budget.
Government ministers spent yesterday selling the budget at a series of community forums across the state.
The Greens are blaming continued derailments for last week's decision by rail operator Pacific National to pull out of the state.
The party's questioning why 25,000 sleepers are lying unused in a Derwent Park yard.
The Greens' Tim Morris says they're proof the Government is neglecting rail infrastructure.
"They're completely out to lunch when it comes to dealing with rail," he said.
But Infrastructure Minister Graeme Sturges says these things take time.
"This is another phase of the maintenance program," he said.
Mr Sturges says the Government expects to have improved infrastructure in place within the next two years.
