The main railways carrying interstate traffic were not hived off to NR - they were put into (I think) Network Access, part of AN, which then became ARTC. (Sulzer55 (talk) 10:51, 16 March 2008 (UTC))[reply]

From ARTC - http://www.artc.com.au/Content.aspx?p=32:

Australian National was also being readied for privatisation and to accommodate the open access requirements of competition policy and partially as a forerunner to privatisation, a separate business unit known as AN Track Access was set up within AN to administer access to the interstate track under AN control.

"Australian National Railways Commission was an Australian Government owned corporation and, in 1978, the Whitlam Government made it clear to the Commission that it was expected to achieve a financial break-even point during the next 10 years." The above cannot be correct as Whitlam Government left office in 1975.Eregli bob (talk) 13:09, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

With the commencement of operation of the Australian Rail Track Corporation Ltd, the new company acquired the old AN interstate standard gauge track and a lease management of the Victorian interstate standard gauge
