Do railways exist in YN?
Yes. The Empire is world-famous for its vast rail network.

If so, is there one company or multiple?
Just one, the state-owned Arendeller Reichsbahn (Arendellean Imperial Railway).

Describe the liveries:
Locomotives and carriages of Arendellean trains have all-black paint schemes, with the Arendeller Reichsbahn wordmark displayed on tenders (steam) or the sides of locomotives (diesel/electric).

Do railways exist in YN?
Of course, we use railways quite a lot.

If so, is there one company or multiple?
Each Socialist Republic runs its own nationalized rail industry.

Describe the liveries:

All trains in East Asia are painted in varying ways, although the use of stripes and basic colors (white) is very common. East Asian socialist symbols can be seen on each individual compartment.

Do railways exist in YN? No. Astrolinium is too small to support a rail line. There has been discussion on constructing a heritage railway for tourists, but it was ultimately decided that the cost -- both financial and environmental -- outweighed the potential benefit.
If so, is there one company or multiple? N/A

Do railways exist in YN? Yes.
If so, is there one company or multiple? Main line railways are nationalized; there are local railways operated privately or by local governments. In order to prevent competition with the national railways, local railways may not be built to parallel national lines.
Describe the liveries: National railways rolling stock are painted navy blue for passenger trains, with a horizontal white line just under the windows.

If so, is there one company or multiple? The railways are nationalized by the Ahakistan Government. They operate under the name 'Resucejis Zvelgti.'
Describe the liveries: Rolling stock has a sky-blue strip across the window section of carriages and a second sky-blue strip along the bottom of the carriage frame. The other color is white. Locomotives are painted similarly but have a gold outline of the blue logo on the front and sides. The acronym for the railway company, RZA is written at a slant beside the logo on the sides.
