Railtrack

Railtrack was a group of companies which owned the tracks, signals, tunnels, bridges, level crossings and some stations of the British railway system from its formation in April 1994 until 2002. Its main operating arm, Railtrack PLC, was sold to "not for dividend" organisation Network Rail on October 3, 2002, and was later renamed Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd. The parent company Railtrack Group plc was renamed RT Group and went into liquidation.
