[[CentRail]]'s central offices are located at the '''[[CentRail]] Plaza''' in [[Riverside]], making [[CentRail]] the only Crown corporation not headquartered in the Centralian capital of [[QueenCity]]. <<TableOfContents()>> == History == Prior to the formation of [[CentRail]], a number of small privately-owned railways provided passenger and freight service to various regions of Centralia. [[PrincessJeanette]], in an effort to modernize Centralia's transportation network, nationalized all intercity railways, placing them under the management of a centralized agency known as Centralia Unified Railways, a division of [[CenDOT]]. Today, [[CentRail]] operates all railways within Centralia, with the exception of regional light rail, commuter rail, and other mass transit networks, which fall under the purview of regional transit authorities such as [[CapitalAreaTransit]]. == Divisions == The names of the individual regional railways that were combined to form [[CentRail]] are still used today to identify the network's various divisions. === Butterscotch Railway === <<Anchor(butterscotch)>> The '''Butterscotch Railway''' roughly parallels the Butterscotch River, running from the [[Mumuland]] border, through the communities of [[Bellefield]] and [[ButterscotchValley]], south to [[ButtercupBay]] on the coast. A branch near [[Vandalia]] connects to the Northland Valley Railway. === Northland Valley Railway === <<Anchor(northland)>> The '''Northland Valley Railway''' serves the [[NorthlandValley]] region, including the communities of [[Bellefield]], [[HawthorneValley]], [[October]], [[Caramel]], and [[CalicasCorner]]. The railway mostly parallels [[Highways|C-96]], the primary highway through the Northland Valley, with a branch running southwest from Hawthorne Valley to [[Vandalia]], where it connects with the Butterscotch Railway. === Queen City and Western Railway === <<Anchor(qcw)>> The '''Queen City and Western Railway''' ('''QCW''') runs west from [[QueenCity]], through [[Havensborough]] and [[Colerain]], to [[ButtercupBay]] at the coast, where it connects with the Butterscotch Railway. As the primary rail link between Queen City and Havensborough, the QCW is a frequent route for [[PrincessAlice]]'s Royal Train, transporting the princess between the [[PalaceOfSerenity]] and [[DameAdorabellesAcademy]]. === Former lines === The infamous [[RailroadTrackLeadingToACliffAndNowhereElse]] was part of the [[CentRail]] network, but has since been decommissioned and turned into a historic site.
