The railway system in Goyanes is the oldest in the world. The first locomotive-hauled [ublic railway opened in 1820, which was followed by an era of rapid expansion. Most of the track is owned and operated by Gojan Jårnbaner (GJ; Goyanean Railways), the state railway company, which in 2021 operated 73,616 kilometers (45,743 mi) of track, mostly 1,067 mm narrow gauge, however the HHT network of high speed lines is standard gauge, as well as some other lines. Of these more than 70,000 km, about 77% is electrified, amounting to 56,684 km of track. These lines range from single to sextuple track or more. In addition, numerous cities have separate subway (U-Baner), light rail, and tram systems, and there are also several provate railroads as well that operate commuter routes as well as tourist lines. The main rail network is connected to that of Gotmark and Alliaronia, and is connected to the rest of the continent (albeit with a break of gauge). The HHT network is connected to the high speed rail systems of Frisia, Hessunland, and Alliaronia.
In 2020, there were about 9.3 billion passengers served by the Gojan Jårnbaner network, making it the most used railway network in the world. Unlike in other countries, railway passenger numbers in Goyanes have been steadily increasing since their inception, aside from minor drops due to wartime, etc. Furthermore, the rail industry in Goyanes supports more than 450,000 jobs, either directly or through its various supply chains.
