History
TransFreight was founded in 1994.

In February 2012, DB Cargo Australia announced it had purchased TransFreight Rail and would incorporate the TransFreight fleet into their own, and that it would also assume their WEZCO contract.

Fleet
The TransFreight fleet originally consisted of and  engines, along with a lone ex- engine. For rolling stock, ex- wagons were used. In 2002, TransFreight contracted, to remanufacture their twelve 45 class engines with refurbished  components taken from withdrawn  units. They were reclassified as the TFR class with all completed between August 2002 and March 2003.

In 1997, TransFreight bought four engines. They were converted to standard gauge using bogies from Onslow railway engines and reclassified as the X4 class. In 2006, another Y class engine, which had also been converted to standard gauge, was purchased second-hand from and reclassified as X4005.

In 1999, 10 second-hand BR 120/220-class locomotives were purchased from  (who's DB Cargo Australia division would, ironically, purchase the firm a decade later) after a few years in storage and reclassified as the 50 class. In 2002, five second-hand ST44-class M62 locomotives were purchased from and added to the 50 class fleet. The locomotives were nicknamed "Blockies" by railway enthusiasts due to their heritage.
