  • Australia has an even more complex system. The state owns the land, and leases it to a company that installs tracks on it, they lease the tracks to a railroad operator who maintains and manages the track infra, and then operators own their own rolling stock that run on the track for a fee. One of those operators is the state, which operate some commuter trains (but the rolling stock are owned by another company)

    The state govt pays like 4 different companies for the privelige of driving trains upon their own land.
