In the late 1970s and 1980s, a significant rail electrification program was completed in the Australian state of Queensland. The electrified Queensland network is the largest in Australia with over 2,000 kilometres electrified, the next biggest is New South Wales with 640 kilometres. Today all suburban passenger services in South East Queensland are operated by Queensland Rail electric multiple units while an extensive network of freight lines are operated to service the Central Queensland coal networks is operated by Aurizon. The two networks are joined by the electrified North Coast line from Brisbane to Rockhampton. ==History== In the 1980s, three significant programs were completed: *Brisbane suburban network, opened between 1979 and 1988 *Blackwater and Goonyella coal networks (including the Central West line as far as Emerald) opened in 1986/87 *Caboolture to Gladstone section of the North Coast line opened in 1988/89 Since then there have been a number of new lines opened that have been electrified. As at 2014, 2,033 kilometes of the 7,739 Queensland network was electrified.〔(Trainline 2 Statistical Report ) Bureau of Infrastructure Transport & Regional Economics 2014 page 53〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rail electrification in Queensland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
