WestNet Rail

WestNet Rail controls over 5000 kilometres of crucial rail infrastructure throughout the southern half of Western Australia – from Geraldton in the north, to Leonora and Kalgoorlie in the east, and south to Esperance, Albany and Bunbury.

Owned by ASX-listed Prime Infrastructure, WestNet Rail is one of the few independent rail infrastructure providers in the world, and is responsible for access management, signalling and communication systems, train control and rail construction and maintenance throughout its network.

WestNet Rail transports a wide range of commodities including grain, alumina, bauxite, iron ore and interstate freight – as well as passengers on the Perth to Kalgoorlie and Perth to Bunbury line – thus playing a vital role in protecting and growing Western Australia’s economy.

Freight volumes are expected to double within the next five years, through rapid expansion in the resources sector and continuing growth in interstate freight. WestNet Rail is well placed to benefit from this expansion, and is working with government and industry to strategically plan and grow capacity in the State’s rail network.

WestNet Rail is committed to enabling existing and emerging projects to develop and expand by providing an environmentally beneficial, safe and low cost means of bulk materials handling.
