Wiki Rail is the state-owned railway company of Wikiland. It can be divided into hundreds of brands, much like in the United Kingdom, except each brand is operated by the state, grove, or clump. That's how railway nationalization should be. Take note, Conrail.

Metro and tram services are independently operated, however they are administrated by the municipal government. As such, tram and metro models tend to vary from city to city. Commuter rail networks, which operate under the Wiki Rail umbrella, are operated by the clump. Many lines serve multiple clumps. Regional and inter-city rail services are operated by grove-owned brands. And finally, Wikistar high-speed train services crisscrossing the country between major cities are operated by the federal government.

Each grove (with the exception of Shadowveil has a couple of notable heritage railways and railway museums, attracting thousands of railfans as well as the general public. Each year, the largest railways host the grove's annual expo, where steam, diesel, and electric locomotives and multiple units from various eras congregate, boosting attendance. Also occurring every years is the annual national expo, by far the biggest event in the heritage railway enthusiast's calendar. Vintage trains also tend to go on mainline excursions once in a while.

Trains are the primary mode of transport in Wikiland and are heavily favoured over cars. Wiki Rail has been heavily praised for its operating model and, from a trainspotter's perspective, its variety despite the network being managed under one nationalized company.

All locomotives and multiple units are unique to each grove. Even the Shadowveil Royal Postal Service, operating from the cloud-borne city-grove of Shadowveil, owns custom-built electric engines.
