Railways of Australia Container Express or RACE was a slightly wider version of the standard ISO shipping container able to take 2 Australia Standard Pallets side by side. It was operated by the Railways of Australia, an association of the Government-owned railways which comprised Australian National, The State Rail Authority of New South Wales, Queensland Railways, State Transport Authority (Victoria) and Westrail. These entities operated in Australia prior to privatisation of freight services. ["Network" March, April, May 1984 Published by the Railways of Australia Committee]
