National Rail Corporation

The National Rail Corporation (NRC) was an Australian government-owned entity established in the late 20th century to manage and operate interstate freight rail services across the country. Its primary role was to coordinate the movement of goods between different states, improving efficiency and connectivity in Australia's rail freight industry. NRC acted as a centralized organization overseeing the infrastructure, logistics, and service standards, helping to streamline freight transportation. In the 1990s, it was privatized and its operations were gradually integrated into private companies, marking a shift toward a more competitive and market-driven rail freight sector in Australia.
