=====Train services=====
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 700 km/h; the following types of trains are found on Chlouvānem railways, excluding commuter rail systems:
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 700 km/h; the following types of trains are found on Chlouvānem railways, excluding commuter rail systems:
* Local trains (''nīyuñcūkirāhe galtarge''), which typically stop at every station between two termini (though some minor stations may only be served in some parts of the day, on some days only, or even seasonally; in rural areas there are a few halts where trains only stop at request). The termini of local trains are usually administrative seats of circuits or episcopal seats. All rural railway lines in the Inquisition have local train services.
* Local trains (''nīyuñcūkirāhe galtargais''), which typically stop at every station between two termini (though some minor stations may only be served in some parts of the day, on some days only, or even seasonally; in rural areas there are a few halts where trains only stop at request). The termini of local trains are usually administrative seats of circuits or episcopal seats. All rural railway lines in the Inquisition have local train services.
* Fast local trains (''kimirāhe nīyuñcūkirāhe galtarge''), which operate mostly on rural lines but, unlike local trains, usually skip the smallest stations: in most areas, this means that only settlements with more than 6,000 people are served. Anyway, fast local trains are usually limited to the peak hours in the morning and in the evening, with possibly one around lunchtime.

Anyway, fast local trains are usually limited to the peak hours in the morning and in the evening, with possibly one around lunchtime.
* Interurban trains (''galamartausirāhe galtarge''), which are inter-city trains which link more cities of regional importance. In most areas of the densely populated Nīmbaṇḍhāra-Lāmberah plain, interurban trains typically follow routes parallel to the main high speed lines and are shorter and stop at more stations that interurban trains in other areas of the country, resembling more fast local trains. Local trains in those areas are in fact often shorter shuttle services between a few major towns (which still do often have quite sizable populations compared to other "rural" towns elsewhere) outside the major metro areas.

* Express trains (''phūmigaltarge'', lit. "shot trains") are a category of fast trains that operate between major cities not served by high-speed railway lines. Some Express trains also run on high-speed lines in some areas. Express trains are sometimes named, as in the iconic ''Samvāldīlthiphūmas'', the express train between Nyamukuma and Lališire Keleitimarta, with its 1500 km long crossing of the deserts in Samvālšaṇṭrē.

* Night express trains (''lalei phūmigaltarge'') are trains that operate on normal and high-speed lines during the night, providing sleeping accomodation. These trains are still very common in the Inquisition, as many people prefer nighttime trains to daytime air travel, citing time optimization as a factor.

* International trains (''galababhrausirāhe galtarge'') are express trains that connect cities of the Inquisition with foreign ones. They mainly depart from the cities of Kimbahēši, Mbelušucāri, and Kuratugombē in the West; Tohailena and Mālim in the Northwest, and Måmatempuñih, Kateihaneh, Hålša, and Pethaṣāvīh in the Northeast, reaching most neighboring countries. The most travelled daily international routes are Mālim-Arvallivăt (Qualdomailor) and Måmatempuñih-Foamipaha (Brono), in addition to the ''Karinaktei phūmas'' linking every three days the Northern Chlouvānem city of Hålša to Tol Szyptag, the second-largest city of Karynaktja, passing through the whole country of Tulfasysz.

* ''Nuppagai'' or, officially, high-speed trains (''lalla nuppāmitap galtarge'' — ''nuppaga'' is actually the name of the line, not of the service, even if that's how it is colloquially known as), which link major cities at speeds usually exceeding 320 vyā-g (vyāṣojrai per Chlouvānem hour) (about 325 km/h).

* Maglev trains (''lākterṣaikyap galtarge'') are the fastest land vehicles on the planet, capable of reaching 700 vyā-g (about 711 km/h) and they are used on a few important routes, stopping in major cities only. Maglev trains are operative on three routes, all in the Jade Coast or the Eastern Plain:
