Hello, or would that be Go'day?

Just thought I'd stop by and see what the rest of the world was up to. I don't have a great interest in railroading outside the US, but I know WC Ltd. operates a rail system "down under". For the life of me, I don't know the name of the railroad, but if it's run anything like the WC here in the US, it's a fine Railway! Well, this yank has got to hit the hay.

WC is also doing a great job running our freight trains here in the UK. (With EMD's) (See european forum for pics.)

That would be G'day!, Brent http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif

WC have the lease to run what was Australian National's, nee Tasmanian Govt Railways, 3'6" operations in Tasmania. Apparently they have turned the system around and now runs trains!
They are also the majority shareholder of Tranzrail, which was New Zealand Govt Railways.

WC Ltd trade in South Australia as Australian Southern Railroad. Running mainly frieght operations they are also in the hook and pull market providing locomotive power to customer's rakes of wagons. I have previously discussed my internet site detailing the ASR operations on the Eyre Peninsula in other topics however if you wish to have a look it can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/ameph/

A couple of years ago our Rotary club in Wahpeton, ND USA hosted a Group Study Exchange team from Australia. One of the blokes, I believe his name was Brian, was interested in railroading. Are you out there somewhere Brian?

ASR is actually owned by Genesee & Wyoming, WC part owns Tranzrail (in New Zealand), which in turn part owns ATN, (Australian Transport Network), which owns Tasrail, operating in Tasmainia.
