The Huimont–Talon high-speed railway (French: Ligne à grande vitesse Huimont - Talon) is a main high-speed rail line in Ainin. It connects Talon's Gare d'Ascension to Huimont's Huimont Station, linking Ainin's second- and third-largest cities via the longest oceanic bridge in Esquarium, the Olivier Lapointe Bridge. The line traverses four provinces: Linaque, Ponant, Saltèrne―Détroit, and Isle-Royale.
The Huimont–Talon high-speed railway includes two branch lines, one that briefly exits the trunk line in Tourres to stop at Tourres Mercier International Airport, and a longer spur that links the main line to Hibourg and other cities in eastern Ponant. It intersects other trunk lines, namely the Talon–Beaurepaire railway and Del-Bounèsquebourg railway, and has a brief concurrency near its western terminal with the Talon–Marlane-la-Prairie railway.
Amongst the many services carried by the line feature the busiest rail service in Ainin, the Sentinelle Express, which provides service between Huimont and Talon.
