Note: the South Australian section of Australian National Railways (formerly the South Australian Railways) is now owned by the Australia Southern Railroad, a consortium, part of which is Genessee & Wyoming from the USA. The AN Tasmania division was purchased by Wisconsin Central/Tranzrail. [thanks for Brad Peadon for that update]
