Australian Rail Track Corporation 2014 Annual Report - page 4

Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC)
plays a critical role in the transport
supply chain and in the overall economic
development of Australia. We manage
and operate over 8500 kilometres of
standard gauge track in New South
Wales, Victoria, South Australia,
Western Australia and Queensland,
making us one of Australia’s largest rail
network owners.
ARTC was created after the
Commonwealth and State Governments
agreed in 1997 to form a ‘one-stop’ shop
for all operators wanting access to the
national interstate rail network. We have
since invested billions to grow, upgrade
and maintain both the Interstate and
the Hunter Valley networks. Together,
these networks support industries and
businesses that are vital to the nation’s
economy by facilitating the movement
of a range of commodities including
general freight, coal, iron ore, other bulk
minerals and agricultural products. Our
network is also important in providing
access for interstate and inter-city
passenger services.
We are more committed than ever to our
vision to “make rail the mode of choice in
the national logistics chain”.
