Swilatian Rail is Swilatia's National Railway company. However, it is privately owned, as there is no public enterprise in Swilatia. The company has a large network in swilatia and the nations that border swilatia. The network is more vast then Swilatia's massive network of privately owned motorways, and is still expanding. Because Swilatia is very large, all of the passenger transport uses high-speed trains, even though freight trains do not. Also, another thing that slows down the freight trains is that in getting to the destination quicker freight trains have the least priority, and will have to wait for the express trains and regular passenger trains to pass before the freight train cann pass. Because of this, it can take days for a freight train to pass.

Also so the trains do not produce emissions, all trains use electric engines, and the power comes from nuclear power stations.
