Traffic
Tasmania has a small rail system by world standards. It currently carries no regular passenger services. Its freight services are not profitable without government subsidies. The main cargo carried is cement, which is carried from Railton to the port at Devonport. Other major commodities carried are coal, logs, containers and newsprint.
