Aurizon Holdings Limited (OTCMKTS: QRNNF) is Australia’s largest rail freight operator, focusing on the transportation of bulk commodities across a network of more than 6,600 kilometers of track. Originally established as the freight arm of Queensland Rail in 1999, the company was privatised in 2010 and has since expanded its services beyond the state of Queensland to serve major mining and agricultural regions across Australia. Aurizon’s core operations include coal haulage from key mining areas, iron ore logistics, agribulk services for grain and fertiliser movement, and general freight solutions for containers and automotive products.
The company offers integrated supply chain solutions that combine track access, rail services and terminal operations under one platform. Its rolling stock fleet comprises hundreds of locomotives and thousands of wagons, designed to handle heavy bulk loads as well as intermodal freight. Aurizon also invests in technology and digital services to support real-time tracking, performance analytics and safety management, aiming to enhance reliability and cost efficiency for its customers.
Beyond its rail haulage business, Aurizon manages the Central Queensland Coal Network under an access regime, providing third-party miners with regulated track access and scheduling. The company is involved in network maintenance, infrastructure projects and capacity expansions, often collaborating with government and industry partners to improve rail connectivity in resource-rich corridors. This infrastructure focus has positioned Aurizon as a critical contributor to Australia’s export industries, particularly in the energy and mining sectors.
Aurizon is governed by an experienced board of directors and led by a senior executive team committed to operational excellence and sustainable growth. The company emphasises safety, environmental stewardship and community engagement, supporting initiatives to reduce rail emissions and foster regional development. With its strategic footprint in key commodity markets and ongoing investment in rail infrastructure, Aurizon remains a cornerstone of Australia’s freight transport landscape.
