  • Aurizon (/əˈraɪzən/ ə-RY-zən) is a freight rail transport company in Australia, formerly named QR National. As of 2015 it was the world’s largest rail transporter of coal from mine to port. Formerly a Queensland Government-owned company, it was privatised and floated on the ASX in November 2010. The company was originally established in 2004–05 when the coal, bulk, and container transport divisions from Queensland Rail were brought under one banner, as QR National. The new name, Aurizon, comes from the words Australia and Horizon according to the then-CEO Lance Hockridge. On an average day, Aurizon moves more than 700,000 t (770,000 tons) of coal, iron ore and other minerals, as well as agricultural products and general freight across the nation. The company transports more than 250 million tonnes of Australian commodities each year, with operations in five Australian states. Aurizon also manages the 2,670 km (1,660 mi) Central Queensland coal network that links mines to coal ports at Bowen, Gladstone and Mackay, and is the largest haulier of iron ore outside the Pilbara. In February 2019, after permission from the Federal Court, Aurizon's intermodal and trucking business was acquired by Linfox for A$7.3 million. Their leased LDP class locomotives were returned to Progress Rail, SCT Logistics now operate former Aurizon routes, such as Perth-Melbourne and Melbourne-Brisbane. (en)
