EKRail

EKRail (reporting mark EKR) is a private railroad operator in El Kadsre and Taranotochi. With 21,802 miles of trackage (12,345 in El Kadsre and 9,457 in Taranotochi), it is the largest private railroad operator in Aritonazca.

EKRail's lines in El Kadsre are mostly 4 ft 8 1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge lines, with some 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow gauge lines and 5 ft 3 in (1,600 mm) Irish gauge lines. EKRail's lines in Taranotochi are near-exclusively standard gauge, barring a lone Irish gauge line serving the Nishimoshi Mines.

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 (now Taranotochi), Vicnoran Railways got the lines in Vicnora, the Mahri Oceanic Railway got the lines in Mahri, Sentanese Rail Transport got the lines in Sentan, and Magic Rail got the lines in Screencold and Line. The El Kadsreian lines cover both states while the Taranotochian lines cover all of the country. Currently, Kentsei owns 85% and owns 65% of the company.

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

The railroad uses LORAM Rail Grinders for track repair and maintenance, and they are known in the pop culture of the two El Kadsres as a result of their yellow coloring and boxy shaping.
