To bad a harris set wasent preserved.  Anyway Freight Australia is owed by
RailAmerica, an industrious company which i think now after the purchase of
RailTex is the largest shortline operator in the US.  V/Line
Pass/Bayside/Swanston are owned by NationalExpress, a British comp. Hillside
owned by Connex - French I think.  I have no clue who owns Yarra however I
think transburban might have something to do with it.  Actually is any of
the rail infrastructure in Victoria owned by an Australian company?
