Rail transport had been a key component of the inter-city transport system in southeast [[Conitia]] since the heyday of steam trains in the mid to late 19th century. By the 1950s, however, consolidation and rising capital costs as well as stock manipulation had made many smaller railways unprofitable. This trend accelerated over the next two decades, and by the mid-1970s it was clear that passenger rail in the region was in crisis. Rail companies appealed to the state for help, and the governments of [[Montecara]] and the [[Desenan Republic]] responded by making a buyout offer to a consortium of railroad companies to take effect in 1978. The deal went through, and Trenalia was born on paper as the sole inter-city rail operator in the two countries. | Rail transport had been a key component of the inter-city transport system in southeast [[Conitia]] since the heyday of steam trains in the mid to late 19th century.

Trenalia is an international passenger rail and rail services company serving southeastern Conitia. It is jointly owned by the states of Montecara, Nameria, Champenia, Hagieria and Agrilan, Mespalia, and the Desenan Republic. The company's headquarters is located at Montecara Pòrta Conìxia railway station.
History and ownership
Ownership of Trenalia since 2001
Rail transport had been a key component of the inter-city transport system in southeast Conitia since the heyday of steam trains in the mid to late 19th century. By the 1950s, however, consolidation and rising capital costs as well as stock manipulation had made many smaller railways unprofitable. This trend accelerated over the next two decades, worsened by the advent of affordable air travel, and by the mid-1970s it was clear that passenger rail in the region was in crisis. Rail companies appealed to the state for help, and the governments of Montecara and the Desenan Republic responded by making a buyout offer to a consortium of railroad companies to take effect in 1978. The deal went through, and Trenalia was born on paper as the sole inter-city rail operator in the two countries.
Trenalia began operation on 7 March 1980 with service in Montecara and the Desenan Republic. Over the next two decades, the company’s financial viability and economy of scale convinced other states in the region to buy into the company and allow Trenalia to operate inter-city routes in their countries as well. By 1998, the company had extended operations to Nameria, Champenia, and Hagieria and Agrilan. The extension to Mespalia was completed in 2000.
States with Trenalia service are required to buy stock in the company when operations commence and to guarantee debt coverage in the event of budget shortfalls.
