In 1975, the Commonwealth Railways was merged in the newly formed Australian National Railways Commission (ANRC). The ANRC was owned by the Commonwealth of Australia and formed from the former Commonwealth, South Australian (non-suburban) and Tasmanian railways. It traded under the name Australian National. Its operations extended from Kalgoorlie to Alice Springs and to the borders with Victoria and New South Wales, as well as all railways in the state of Tasmania.
