| ==Preferred tagging of railways==
| |
| Railways in the [[Federal States]] are members of the [[International Railway Union]] and have to be mapped by using the tags
| |
| *"railway"="rail"
| |
| **"gauge"="1435"
| |
| **"operator"=''name of the track owner''
| |
| **"name"=''name of the line'' (only if there is a name)
| |
| **"usage"={ <span class="plainlinks">[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:usage%3Dmain main]</span> / <span class="plainlinks">[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:usage%3Dbranch branch]</span> / <span class="plainlinks">[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:usage%3Dindustrial industrial]</span> / <span class="plainlinks">[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:usage%3Dmilitary military]</span> / <span class="plainlinks">[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:usage%3Dtest test]</span> / <span class="plainlinks">[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:usage%tourism tourism]</span> }<br>'''or'''<br>"service"={ <span class="plainlinks">[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:service%3Dyard yard]</span> / <span class="plainlinks">[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:service%3Dsiding siding]</span> / <span class="plainlinks">[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:service%3Dspur spur]</span> / <span class="plainlinks">[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:service%3Dcrossover crossover]</span> }

| |
| ===Freight===
| |
| Like North America, a network of privately-owned freight railroad companies comprises the vast majority of the national railway system. More information regarding freight railway companies, including a listing of current companies and information regarding how to start new railway companies, can be found [[Collab:Federal States/Railways/Companies|here]].
| |
| ===Passenger===
| |
| A national passenger rail provider does exist; however, similar to Amtrak, the company generally operates relatively low-speed (< 80mph / 125 km/h) passenger trains on the freight network. While the national company operates long-distance service, it is also available to operate shorter-distance regional service, but regions may choose to create separate regional passenger networks as well. A forum discussion regarding the overall network is [[Forum:Federal_States/Passenger_Rail_Network_Proposal|ongoing]]. Keep in mind that most intercity transportation in the Federal States is done via the motorway network or through the domestic aviation network.
| |
| ===High-Speed===
| |
| There is no national high-speed rail network; however, there are two high-speed corridors in operation:
| |
| * '''ArchRail''' operates high-speed service through the Southeast, with a main corridor spanning from Burton to Huntington via Stanton.
| |
| * '''LakeLynx''' operates high-speed service in the West Lakes focusing on a Wallawaukee-to-Lake City corridor, with branches west of Lake City to Ondassagam (and potentially Fayette, Deodeca) and to Nishaukee Falls along the Deodecan border south of Barre Harbor. Deodeca also operates a high-speed rail corridor between Kingstown and Lake City via LakeLynx in the Federal States.
| |
| A third corridor may be included in the future as plans for Cosperica develop.
| |
| ===Commuter===
| |
| Large cities may have commuter trains. These are organized by individual or neighboring states, rather than at the national level.
