Welcome to the website of Country Rail Infrastructure Authority (CRIA).

CRIA is a NSW Government agency and owns the non-metropolitan rail networks in New South Wales, comprising:

CRIA’s principal objective is to provide on the CRN safe and reliable passenger and freight services in an efficient, effective and financially responsible manner.

In total, CRIA’s country regional network covers 2,386 route kilometres of operational passenger and freight rail lines and 3,128 route kilometres of non-operational lines.  See Location/Operational Map for coverage of services.
