History
On 17 December 2000, the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) freight division was sold to the Australian Railway Group along with the Westrail name and logo. The WAGR continued to operate as the Western Australian Government Railways Commission.
A further significant change was made to the department on 1 July 2003 when the WA Government Railways Commission was replaced by the Public Transport Authority. The Public Transport Authority also incorporates Transperth, School Bus Services and local bus services.
