The Kusian National Railways are a national conglomerate. The KNR is responsible for the maintenance and development of the railway infrastructure and manages the passenger and freight services. The railway system has modernized over the years, with the addition of electrified and high-speed lines between the largest urban centers and abroad to Bloodia, Savland and Reismov, which have reduced travel times and increased efficiency.

Kus railroad system covers a total distance of 57,736 kilometers making it one of the most extensive railway networks in the world. The system is predominantly double-track, allowing for efficient and safe movement of trains. The network connects major cities, towns, and industrial centers, facilitating the movement of people, goods, and raw materials. The system is responsible for transporting over 71% of the country's freight, making it a vital part of the nation's economy.

Since the 1990s, the conglomerate of Kusian National Railways has been divided into two categories: National Carriers and Local Carriers. National Carriers operate between different Lands of Kus, while Local Carriers conduct more local operations within the Lands of Kus.

The National Carriers are responsible for long-distance services, which connect Kus different regions and cities. They also provide international connections to neighboring countries, allowing for efficient trade and transportation. The Local Carriers, on the other hand, operate more locally, serving smaller towns and villages within the Lands of Kus.

The separation of the Kusian National Railways conglomerate into National and Local Carriers has allowed for a more streamlined and efficient railway system. It has enabled the National Carriers to focus on long-distance services and international connections, while the Local Carriers can focus on serving smaller communities and providing more localized transportation services.

The Kusian National Railways are an essential part of the country's infrastructure and has played a crucial role in the nation's development. The system is known for its extensive network, efficient services, and modern infrastructure, making it a preferred mode of transportation for both passengers and businesses. With continued investment and modernization, the Kus railway system is expected to remain a vital part of the country's transportation and logistics infrastructure for years to come.

History
The development of the Kus railroad system dates back to the late 19th century, being one of the first countries in the world that had a steam powered railway system, with monarchy recognising the strategic importance of the country as a hub for trade and commerce, and thus, began constructing railways to connect major cities and towns after the success of the Vatenian Royal Railroad. The railroad played a crucial role in the country's formation in the current form and shape, as it facilitated the movement of people and goods, enabling military and civilian nationalists socialists to coordinate their efforts across the country against the monarchy. After the Kusian Path coup, the communities of Kus continued to invest heavily in the railway system, recognising its importance to the nation's development.

Suburban and interurban electric or diesel multi-units are typically colored light blue, while intercity passenger services use a scarlet red color scheme, creating a sense of luxury and sophistication.
