As members of the community we have
participated and supported a number
of community and rail safety initiatives
through the year, including:
•
•
Partnering with Transport for NSW,
NSW TrainLink and John Holland Rail to
promote rail safety to rural communities
via AgQuip and Henty field days.
•
•
Helping the Castlereagh All Blacks enter
three teams in the indigenous Koori Cup
rugby league festival.
•
•
Helping the Wodonga Men’s Shed
move to bigger premises in support
of the North East Victorian community.
•
•
Working with the ‘Friends of Belair’
to help improve vegetation along the
rail corridor.
•
•
Entering an ARTC team in the Newcastle
Surfest for the first time, we won the
cup for the most money raised for charity
by a Corporate team.
•
•
Supporting a range of rail industry events
including the Permanent Way Institution
(PWI) Country Meeting, Institution of
Railway Signal Engineers (IRSE) and
the biannual Conference on Railway
Excellence (CORE).
•
•
Supporting the inaugural
Ivanhoe Gymkhana.
•
•
Building local relationships with Councils
across our network, recognising the
core role they play in the community.
While these are individually only small
contributions, collectively they represent
the importance we place on being part
of the communities in which we operate.
WE SUPPORTED MAITLAND
STEAMFEST FOR THE
TWELFTH YEAR IN A ROW,
THE BIGGEST EVENT OF
ITS KIND IN AUSTRALIA
In 2016 this helped support a world
first ‘quad race’ where four steam
trains ‘raced’ side-by-side for 27km
along our Hunter Valley coal network.
