FreightLink is owner and operator of the Adelaide–Darwin railway, and began operating in 2004 under a 50-year concession agreement with the Northern Territory and South Australian governments.
The company runs six intermodal freight services a week between Adelaide and Darwin. It also hauls bulk minerals from mines along the railway to the port of Darwin for shipment to Asia, as well as bulk fuel for distributors.
Great Southern Railway’s Ghan passenger service operates on the railway under a track access agreement.
Services are managed from
FreightLink’s head office in Hindmarsh, Adelaide and the regional office in
Darwin, supported at the terminals between these locations by local management.
