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 (1pā 1.2, ~1,472 mm — usually called ''leileidani ga khlatimas'' “one-one-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 Pamahīnēna Subway). Some local lines in the North still use the Skyrdagor gauge of 1pā 1.1 (~1,385 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, Ilēnimarta, | 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.

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: the stations of Cami-Tautehana and Līlasuṃghāṇa-Kahērimaila are the 2nd and 3rd largest public buildings<ref>The largest buildings in the Inquisition are aircraft and spacecraft building halls, with the Construction Hall at the Dīlthutalāki Cosmodrome being the largest one (and second-largest on the planet).</ref> in the Inquisition (after the Main Terminal of Mamaikala International Airport).<br/>Most of the network is nationalized, managed by local branches of the ''Mugada'' (''murkadhānāvīyi galtarlīltumi darañcamūh'', "Inquisitorial Railway Group", also called ''mugacamūh''), but there are some local lines, especially when part of subway networks, which are privately managed. | 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.
