	Railway Technology - Hamersley Freight Contract - Western Australia
		Iron ore railways in the Pilbara region of north-west Western Australia are the most productive railways in the world, and are set to improve over the next few years now that Hamersley Iron has finalised an agreement with Robe River Iron Associates to form a joint rail operation.
		Hamersley Iron and Robe River will still own their rail assets but they will be managed by the new company.
		One other indication of the capabilities of the iron ore railways of the Pilbara region was the recent breaking of the record for the heaviest train by BHP Iron Ore. A train weighing 99,734t ran for 275km between Yandi and Port Hedland on BHP's Mount Newman line.

		The desire of Hamersley Iron to employ Indigenous people in skilled categories of employment had been frustrated by the fact that Aboriginal students were not completing high school.
		It was the view of Hamersley Iron that the future opportunities for work in the Pilbara lay in skilled work and that, if there were to be satisfactory employment opportunities for Aboriginal people, there needed to be improved educational outcomes.
		In 1995 Hamersley Iron contracted the Polly Farmer Foundation working with staff from the University of WA to research how educational standards could be improved, the level of community support and interest for a project of this nature, and possible linkages with other activities.
