About QROTI
Welcome to QROTI -- pronounced as "queue-row-tea" -- the Internet site for information of rail in the state of Queensland.

Mission
QROTI's purpose is to provide everyone around the world information about rail services in Queensland.

QROTI in a Nutshell
QROTI is the unofficial and independent Internet information site of rail services in the State of Queensland, Australia.

This includes information of QR (Queensland Rail) whilst the hosted Trainaway Tours information further promotes the rail industry for this and future generations.

The QR information includes the intrastate, tourism-style Traveltrain long distance services, Brisbane and south east Queensland's Citytrain commuter services, and the largest state-wide general freight service of Q-Link.

The existence of QROTI allows for the local, national and international community to "make tracks easier" whilst, at the same time, promoting the environmentally friendly transport option and Queensland's tourism industry. The persistent work performed in and for QROTI has been purely voluntarily with no corporate-level support, sponsorship or funding.

Our History
QROTI has an impressive history and one which we are most proud of.

QROTI started as a simple information page back in early 1996 and was the first specific Australian rail Internet site to have the most and comprehensive information of who they are promoting. Basically, QROTI started and others followed in terms of content and useability. Our success is further demonstrated by the fact that QROTI has been used as a benchmark for other web sites of this nature.

QROTI was the first Australian rail Internet site with client-specific (searchable) suburban rail timetables through its innovative "Timetable Vending Machine" (TVM).

To the best of our knowledge at the time, QROTI was the first rail Internet site in the world to have every suburban train station with its own home page that includes its photo, address, contact details and other important information.
