The Creeperian Railroad Networks (Creeperian Spanish: Redes Ferroviarias Creeperiano, abbreviated RFC, officially the Creeperian Railroad Networks Company, Creeperian Spanish: Compañía de Redes Ferroviarias Creeperiano) is the largest freight railroad network in the Southern Landmass and in Creeperopolis, El Salvador, and the Papal State. RFC has 42,000 employees and more than 8,000 locomotives.
The Creeperian Railroad Networks Company is a merger of six major Creeperian railroad companies: the Atlántidan Railroad Systems, Castillianan National Railroad, Creeperian Railroad Southern, Northern Creeperian Railroad Lines, San Salvador National Railroad, and the Salvadoran Railroad Networks. The six national railroads were merged and the monopoly was privatized in 2007. According to corporate press releases, the RFC is among the top transporters of intermodal freight in the world. It also hauls bulk cargo, including enough coal to generate around ten per cent of the electricity produced in Creeperopolis.
The railroad's owner is Juan Maroto Carvallo and its CEO is Ramón Cambeiro Muñoz.
