The trenchway is a type of rail-based transportation system characterised by the use of an excavated open trench which places the rails underneath ground level [1]. It is common in Riamo, where it has come to replace many rail-based urban commuter lines, incorporating elements of subways and heavy rail into one unified type of train [2] [3].
