Road produces approximately 4.5 times more CO2 equivalent (green house gas emissions) than rail.

The Australian rail industry is open to competition and in Queensland, rail operators can apply to use QR Network’s 10,000km of narrow gauge, standard gauge and dual gauge track.

On 1 September 2008, QR Network Pty Ltd became a stand alone subsidiary company of QR Ltd.
