Senya has an extensive railway network which serves the vast majority of settlements in the country. Unlike other nations, where automobiles are more popular, the Senyan government has for the most part invested heavily in the nation's rail network, ensuring that is the most reliable and convenient mode of transport.

The entire network is ran by Senyan Rail, who operate the vast majority of freight and passenger services across the country under various brand identities. The network is largely electrified and has connections to Jingdao and Natopia.

Fort Kolgrad and Ranentsi also have rail links. Fort Kolgrad's network is run by Senyan Rail and is extensive, linking all populated settlements with a relatively high speed network. Ranentsi's networks are older and weaker, and rely on older rolling stock. Ranentsi's network contains one line, running from Kyustendil to Kriva. Ranentsi's railway is run independently of Senyan Rail, though a takeover is planned.

Network

All rail infrastructure in Senya is owned by the state owned company Senyan Rail, who are responsible for the maintenance of the network. Senyan Rail additionally control all the various passenger and freight companies that operate on Senyan territory, with the exception for foreign companies from border countries running services into Senya.

The network runs entirely on standard gauge (1,435 mm, 4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) rails, with the vast majority of lines having overhead electric wires.

Train numbering system

All trains that operate within Senya are assigned a number as to identify the service. Trains are assigned a string of numbers, which feature on passenger's tickets as well as the main rail switchboards and on information and timetable displays at stations. The code is 13 digits long for passenger related information, though the official service code will be 15 digits long.
