Vereinigte Staatseisenbahn AG (Common Tongue: United State Railway), often abbreviated as the VSE, was a Weisenburger state-owned railroad company. Headquarters in Weisenburg, the company was owned by the Ministry of Transport and was responsible for the maintaining routes, rolling stock, and ensuring the smooth operation of rail services.

The company maintained overall control over all railroads in the UPC. While some railroads were privately owned, it was required that the VSE held at least a 25% in these railroads. The VSE also operated a connection to Aemilia's Coast Tram network through an interchange in the city of Altdorf.

In II.1742, as part of the integration of the United Principalities into the Aemilian Federation, following the Aemilian intervention in the United Principalities, the company was merged with the cargo and passenger operations of LanzerwaldSpoor to create the Aemilianische Bundesbahnen.
