Welcome

Welcome to the Australasian Railway Association website!

Our goal is to illustrate the positive impact that railways have on the economy, society and environment of Australia and New Zealand.

We represent the interests of all rail operators, both private and government, track owners and managers, manufacturers of rollingstock and components, and other aspects of the rail industry in Australasia.
