Queensland Rail City network
The Queensland Rail City network (formerly known as ''Citytrain'' prior to the split of Queensland Rail). provides urban, suburban and inter-urban electric passenger railway services in South East Queensland, Australia. The network, centring in Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, is approximately in route length.
==History==
(詳細はIpswich to Grandchester. Opened in July 1865,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=QR Corporate - QR History - Beginnings )〕 the line into Brisbane was not completed until the opening of the Albert Bridge in July 1875.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=QR Corporate - QR History - Building to the bush )〕
A start on electrification of the suburban network was approved in 1950 but a change of state government in 1957 saw the scheme abandoned in 1959. It was not until the 1970s that electrification was again brought up, with contracts let in 1975. The first part of the new electric system, the Darra - Ferny Grove line, was opened to the public on 17 November 1979.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=QR Corporate - Modern competitive railway )〕〔''Brisbane Rail Electrification Stages 1 and 2'' Armstrong, J Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin, August 1982 pp165-192〕 The network was completed by 1988, with a number of extensions made since and additional rolling stock purchased. Services were initially operated under the Queensland Rail brand, with the ''Citytrain'' name established in 1995.〔"Annual Report Summaries" ''Railway Digest'' February 1996 page 26〕
In June 2009 as part the split of Queensland Rail's commuter rail and the freight business,〔(Queensland asset sales to reap $15 billion ) ''Brisbane Times'' 2 June 2009〕 The ''Citytrain'' brand was dropped in favour of using the redesigned Queensland Rail brand. Since then almost all traces of the ''Citytrain'' brand have been removed from rolling stock and station signage.
