The Great Dividing Range Mining & Manufacturing Company has not been profitable from operating the Rail system and is planning to sell. This would leave GDRM&MCo with having to get commodities brought to it by another operator and this would cost less than having to operate its own RR.

Rest assured you will get your money back in 6 months. We operate a fleet of container ships so that all containers will be shipped to you and you can make money using our leasing program over here by leasing the standard gauge locomotives to the NSW rrs and other states as we have finished regauging the track to 3'6" so we can interchange with QR and Pacific National Queensland.

I accept. We will need to make the announcement on the freelanced bulletin thread.
I am going to leave it as a subsidiary and name it Queensland Transportation.

I have already posted the idea of calling it Pacific North Queensland, as you can see in my signature I have already done the logo. Well done you are now the owner of queenslands most profitable rail system. Might I order the new locomotives and be CEO of the subsidiary?

Absolutely. I am going to consolidate my other railroads with it.
The consolidation will be with ex Rail America owned Freight Australia and ex Genesse and Wyoming owned Australian Railroad Group Pty. Ltd (ARG).
After doing a bit of research, this is going to be one heck of a merger.
