 People movers are also common, especially in large cities as a minor link between subway lines — a few early ones were extremely light metro lines; newer ones are rubber-tired AGTs but are still popularly treated as parts of the railway network.
-The Inquisition has a railway length of about 450,000 km, linking all mainland dioceses, including steppes and rainforests; many island dioceses also have local railway systems. About 95% of the network uses the standard Chlouvānem gauge (2.2 pā, ~1,488 mm — usually called ''danidani ga khlatimas'' “two-two gauge”), but narrower gauges are used for local mountainous lines and, in some cities, for light metro lines, especially in some networks which have very narrow turns (as in the Pamahīnėna Subway). Some local lines in the North still use the Skyrdagor gauge of 1.31.3 pā <small>(1.37.3<sub>10</sub>)</small>.</ref> (~1,380 mm), even though adaptation to the Chlouvānem gauge has often been proposed - also because many countries in Greater Skyrdagor are changing their lines to Chlouvānem gauge too. Fixed block signalling is used in most of the network, but a few suburban lines near Līlasuṃghāṇa and the Cami Coastal Loop use moving block signalling, as do also many subway lines in Līlasuṃghāṇa, Ilėnimarta, Galiākina, Cami, Lūlunimarta, Huñeibāma, and Līlekhaitė.<br/>Most of the network is nationalized, managed by local branches of the ''Mutada'' (''murkadhānāvīyi tammilīltumi darañcamūh'', "Inquisitorial Railway Group", also called ''mutacamūh''), but there are some local lines, especially when part of subway networks, which are privately managed.

 Train services range from those of suburban importance to high-speed, often overnight, links between cities; a few major cities are linked by high-speed maglev lines that in a few cases may operate at speeds up to 680 km/h. Railway lines are common even in rural areas, with in fact most settlements being located near railways, and rail lines being the most common means of passenger transport overall. Railway stations are also major meeting points in cities and towns, usually lying in a major square; in small towns they’re often surrounded by the main services like bars, post offices, banks, and a few shops; the most important stations in large cities are true shopping malls or even multifunctional buildings with offices and hotels.
