Umardo-Tapakdori National Rail (UTNR) ([[w:Arabic language|Umardi]]: ''السكك الحديدية الوطنية أوماردو تاباكدوري'', [[w:Sinhala language|Tapakdi]]: ''රට-තපක් දෝරි ජාතික දුම්රිය'', [[w:Punjabi language|Peshabi]]: ''ਉਮਰਦੋ-ਤਪਕ ਡੋਰੀ ਨੈਸ਼ਨਲ ਰੇਲ'', [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]]: ''Chemin de fer nacional Umardo-Tapakdori'', [[Qabóri language|Qabóri]]: ''Umê'lo-Tapolinóc Cawaštet Atô'asla'') is an internationally-funded passenger and freight rail company based in [[Umardwal]], which is jointly-owned by the Umardi and Tapakdori governments. That runs for over 59,000 kilometers of passenger and freight railways throughout Umardwal, [[Tapakdore]], and [[Pukhgundi]], with plans to expand to [[Bulkh]] and [[Battganuur]]. UTNR manages the 3rd-most extensive railway system in the world, of which over a quarter of the system is electrified, fit for high-speed rail. It is the largest employer in Umardwal and Tapakdore, employing over 720 thousand people in those countries.

UTNR was founded as Rail Umardwal in 1993, by [[Tierrador|Tierradorian]] businessmen with the intent to better organize Umardwal’s rail system, at the time only spanning for 15,000 kilometers and mostly in the more densely-populated northern regions of the country. Rail Umardwal was eventually placed under the administration of the Umardi Government, and they had begun cooperating with the governments of Tierrador and [[Burgundie]] to expand Umardwal’s below average rail system. By 1999, Umardwal’s railway system had doubled in length, spanning across the entire country. In 2002, the [[Qangreč]] approved a $20 billion infrastructure project for Tapakdore, allowing Rail Umardwal to expand into the country. By 2015, UTNR had covered all of Umardwal and a large majority of Tapakdore, with the majority of the project’s funding originating from Tierrador and Burgundie, along with the laborers responsible for constructing the system originating through the [[Qabóri-Audonian Employment Program]]. This strengthened ties between the nations, and some have even gone as far as to group Tapakdore and Umardwal under the Tierradorian [[Tierrosphere|sphere of influence]].

UTNR runs various classes of express, passenger, and freight rail. In 2029, it operated 6,452 daily trains on average, carrying 822 million passengers and covering 3,627 stations across Umardwal, Tapakdore, and Pukhgundi. That same year, UTNR operated 4,779 daily freight trains on average and transported 799 million tonnes of freight. UTNR’s rolling stock consisted of 96,518 freight wagons, 61,112 passenger coaches, and 9,336 total locomotives, with 6,772 being electric and 2,564 being diesel. Recently, UTNR had begun operating high-speed rail lines, with the first line being opened in 2028, running from [[Asrabad]], the capital of Umardwal, to [[Sayyad]], the country's second-largest city. Currently, UTNR is constructing a line that will split from the Asrabad-Sayyad Line and will run to [[Gadkheri]].

== History ==

===Beginning years===

As a part of the Tierro-[[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[Audonian Development Project]], the company received $4.5 billion in direct funding from the governments of Tierrador and Burgundie, for the purpose of expanding the rail system to cover all of Umardwal and renovating the already existing lines. Before 1993, Umardwal’s rail system was considered “below-average,” and had not improved from its tenure as a colony of Burgundie.

===Qangreč lobbying scandal===

In February 2011, following a meeting between [[Woqali of Tierrador|Woqali]] [[Ipana II]] and the Qangreč's [[International Funding Committee]], delegate [[David Tanaskaí]], who was serving as the chair of the committee, was arrested outside of the [[Ma'atlens]] for, at the time, an unknown reason. Some time later, the [[Government of Tierrador|Teklan]] announced that Tanaskaí had been accepting payments from UTNR in exchange for him pushing to increase Tierradorian funding to the company, and subsequently, both the governments of Umardwal and Tapakdore. Tanaskaí was found guilty of violating the [[Qangreč Trust Act of 1979]], and was sentenced to 25 years in an Imperial penitentiary. As a result of UTNR's lobbying, the Teklan froze all funds to and from UTNR, demanding that UTNR [[w:Chief executive officer|CEO]] [[Neelamjot Thakur]] resign from his position. Once Thakur resigned on October 27, Tierrador returned to funding the company.
