'''Cross-National Rail Company''' is a large [[Belhavia|Belhavian]] {{wp|Commuter railroad|private commuter, passenger}}, and {{wp|rail freight transport|freight transport}} rail company. It operates the largest commuter and long-range passenger rail line in the country, and is the fourth-largest freight rail shipper within [[Belhavia]]. It is a subsidiary of [[Roth Industries]]. 

==Finances==

In 2014, CNRC brought in [[Belhavian shekel|$]]4.67 billion in revenue and had $3.85 billion in costs, deriving a profit of $820 million shekels.

CNRC struggled to eke out a profit after being {{wp|privatization|privatized}} in 1983 until 1988, when it was bought at a discount by [[Roth Industries]]. Since then, Roth pursued an aggressive expansion of commuter and long-range passenger rail lines to urbanized, populated corridors profitable for rail transport and has seen the company's profits go from a paltry $1.7 - $3.5 million range in the late 1980s and early 1990s to over a billion shekels in profit in the mid-2000s. Revenues slumped modestly during the [[Recession of 2006]], but since 2011, passenger rail travel has grown by double-digits, and CNRC has posted annual revenues above $500 million in the years since. 

[[Temuair|Aisling]] business {{wp|news magazine|magazine}} ''[[Enterprise]]'' estimates that if current growth in ridership continues, CNRC will exceed a billion in profit in the late 2010s.
