Wintergen only has industrial, freight rail service. None of the 850km (528 mi) of rail is rated for passenger traffic. Because all of the rail is designed specifically around the logging industry the rail network all converges and estimates from [[Wintergen#Port_Hivernille|Port Hivernille]]. The rail is all standard gauge but has a unique third rail and the distance of standard narrow gauge. This is because all timber train trucks are fitted with "guide wheels" or a small centrally located axle that works between the outermost rail to the center rail. These was added as a safety measure do you derailments during heavy rains that can wash out the ballast under some of the ties. The narrow gauge guide wheels have proven effective in reducing the number of derailments as a result of washed out ballast and rail shifting as a result. | Wintergen only has industrial, freight rail service.
