Ostarlanian Railways (formerly known as Ostrich Railways) is the national railway operator of Ostarland. It operates the Foreston Regional Rail in Foreston and Malinowo and intercity services to locations such as Cornham, Larton, Foreston, and Kolyagrad.
It was founded in May 2018 as Ostrich Railways to operate LTC Automatic Trains services (then known as Larton Light Rail or LLR). In July 2020, Ostrich Railways was reorganised into Ostarlanian Railways. At the same time the Cornham Cityrail was taken over by Cornham Lines, and the Larton Metro, renamed from the Larton Light Rail, was taken over by the Larton Transport Commission.
