The Port Balaine National Railway Service (PBNRS; Balainese: Waalijneeske Nasjonale Spoardyktsjinst) is the uniformed, paramilitary organization responsible for railway engineering, logistics, and security in the Commonwealth of Port Balaine. In its civil functions, the service operates the national passenger rail system, CommonRail, as well as heritage lines and industrial freight. In its military functions, the PBNRS operates raillift for the armed forces, as the backbone of Port Balaine's transportation infrastructure. The core of the railway service is staffed by railway troops, as train crews, engineers and constructionmen.
Commonwealth Railway (CommonRail)
The Commonwealth Railway (doing business as CommonRail; reporting mark CWRY) is the primary passenger and freight rail system in Port Balaine. CommonRail provides passenger connections to all but one city throughout the entire commonwealth, with a primary terminal in Wellingdon. Additional freight-only routes provide additional direct routes, access to coastal regions and military installations on the Isle of Wells. Two out-of-service lines access remote corners of the Isles of St. Peter and Wells in emergencies. CommonRail operates entirely on overhead-electrified, 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) gauge, though additional diesel locomotives sit in storage as wartime redundancies.
CommonRail passenger lines
CommonRail operates three passenger lines, all terminating at Wellingdon Grand Central Terminal. The Channel Corridor (train nos. 100 series) operates south, over the Isle of St. Peter, to the capital, The Promenade. The Arcadian Mountains (train nos. 200 series) operates across the western shores of the Isle of Wells, to the north coast at Bearum. The Jimland River (train nos. 300 series) operates to Eyot, servicing the final cities along the eastern shores of Wells.
Wellingdon Terminal Railway
The Wellingdon Terminal Railway (reporting mark WTRY) is a short-line switching and terminal railroad, and the sole subsidiary of the Commonwealth Railway. The railway provides freight transit in the Port of Wellingdon, transiting cargo between the port and CommonRail. WTRY operates on entirely diesel locomotion, to simplify infrastructure in the port.
