Rail

Throughout New South Wales’ history, rail transport has been a symbol of connection, expansion and progress. This expansion continues today, allowing New South Wales to effectively and efficiently export and import bulk commodities around Australia and overseas.

The New South Wales rail network is extensive, covering the majority of the state. Both passenger and freight trains move on the lines that link suburb to city, farmland to coast and bulk export products to international ports.
