The Arco National Railway Service (reporting marks ARCO, AN) is a Class I freight-hauling railroad that operates over 2,000 locomotives over 50,000km of routes in thirteen different Cronan countries. It is the largest freight railroad in South Crona in terms of track length, freight hauled, passengers carried, and locomotives/cars used. Its subsidiary, Southern Railways is one of the largest and most extensive passenger rail lines in South Crona.
Founded in 1886, Arco National Railway Service was part of the first transcontinental railroad in South Crona, with locomotives purchased in pieces from Levantia and shipped and assembled in Kurst. Over the next several decades, the speed and breadth of the railway's expansion meant that there was little to no direct competition to its construction. It was the first railroad to expand across the Malentine Basin, as well as into Central Crona. It notably never had lines or routes extending into Varshan. As of the end of the Second Great War it remained the largest railway in South Crona. There continue to be expansion plans into the Southwestern Cronan Peninsula as well as along the newer Northern routes towards the Albion Sea. The railway remains at its original headquarters in Kurst, although the building, the Confederation Railway Station, has undergone multiple renovations and expansions.
