Rio Tinto Iron Ore acting chief executive Paul Shannon said “This is great news.

Rio Tinto runs a highly efficient railway that is fully integrated with our port and mine operations.

This would be severely hindered if third parties were allowed to run trains on our rail network, not to mention the knock-on negative effect on the Western Australian and national economies from creating such inefficiencies.” About Rio Tinto Rio Tinto is a leading international mining group headquartered in the UK, combining Rio Tinto plc, a London and New York Stock Exchange listed company, and Rio Tinto Limited, which is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.
