Description
EKRail began operating in 1990 following the privatization of Vlokouzian State Railways and the short-lived nationalization of some privately-owned lines by the United El Kadsreian Nations. EKRail got the lines in El Kadsre and North El Kadsre, Vicnoran Railways got the lines in Vicnora, the Mahri Oceanic Railway got the lines in Mahri, and Sentanese Rail Transport got the lines in Sentan. The El Kadsreian lines cover both states while the North El Kadsreian lines cover all of the country. Currently, Kentsei owns 85% and Norfolk Southern Corporation owns 65% of the company.

Rolling stock
EKRail inherited most of Vlokouzian State Railways' locomotives and rolling stock.
