Editing Tranz Rail (section)

===TasRail investment===
In partnership with Wisconsin Central as the [[Australian Transport Network]], Tranz Rail invested in Tasmanian rail operator [[AN Tasrail|Tasrail]] in 1997. From 1998, Tranz Rail sold twelve members of its [[New Zealand DQ and QR class locomotives|DQ class and three QR class locomotives]] to Tasrail. The locomotives were rebuilt at the [[Hutt Workshops]]. The DQ locomotives were originally imported by New Zealand Rail in 1995 from [[Queensland Rail]] as an alternative to buying new locomotives. In service, they proved unpopular with locomotive crews, due to excessive vibration and noise in their cabs.<ref>{{cite web

The investment provided only marginal returns, and Toll later sold the [[TasRail]] shareholding to [[Pacific National]], a [[Toll Group|Toll Holdings]] partnership with [[Patrick Corporation]], in 2003.
