== Rail transit ==
Rapid transit, also known as heavy rail or metro, is a type of high-capacity electric railway that operates on an exclusive right-of-way, and which is often grade separated in tunnels or on elevated railways. It runs frequent service and is generally limited to urban areas.  
Rail transit includes systems that cover a shorter distance and run more frequently than intercity rail. These include {{wp|metro}}, {{wp|light rail}}, {{wp|regional rail}}, and {{wp|trams}}.

== Freight rail ==
== Maps and route diagrams ==
Freight rail is a crucial means of transporting goods in countries which are either large, with most areas distant from the sea, or small and with high population densities. It is an especially important means of transporting bulk cargo such as {{wp|grain}}, {{wp|coal}}, {{wp|petroleum}}, and {{wp|ore}}. Freight rail is extremely efficient in terms of energy use, which makes it second only to shipping in affordability at a large scale.

== Technical aspects ==
Rail gauge varies by country and region throughout Esquarium. The most popular, and the international de-facto standard in [[Conitia]], is Aininian gauge (1,500&nbsp;{{wp|millimeter|mm}}). {{wp|Meter gauge}} (1,000&nbsp;mm) is popular on town and city {{wp|tramway}} systems which must navigate narrow streets and have smaller vehicles with lower capacities.
