Velden Rail
Velden Rail is a state-owned company and infrastructure manager of most of the railway network in Veldenland. Velden Rail is part of the Department for Transport with no shareholders, which reinvests its income in the railways. Velden Rail main customers are the private train operating companies (TOCs), responsible for passenger transport, and freight operating companies (FOCs), who provide train services on the infrastructure that the company owns and maintains. The is the current layout of the Veldenland Rail System outlined by Velden Rail on behalf of the Government.

Rail Merger 1946
After the Second World War both Velden Northern Railway and the Velden Southern Railway were decimated. This decimation of the Railway lead Antony Smith of the Velden Government to nationalise both companies and merge them into a "signal state enterprise more efficient & capable of rail reconstruction". However unlike British Rail in the United Kingdom our trains were never nationalized with the rail.

Modernisation Plan 1962
Farrell Atkinson the forth Chairman of Velden Rail suggested a plan to radically modernize the rail in 1962, This plan titled the Moderne onzin plan by many Dutchmen was heavy focused on the English Regions of Veldenland, This plan was later replaced with the Green Plan which was much more evenly spread out. Important areas updated:


 * Aarnselm to Rumsey was built
 * The creation of the National Line Aarnselm to Hoogerheide which was electrified
 * Resignalling and track renewals
 * The closure of an unspecified, but relatively small, number of lines

Modern era
Following an initial period in which Velden Rail established itself and demonstrated its competence in addressing the principal challenges of improving asset condition, reducing unit costs and tackling delay, the Government's Rail Review in 1993 said that Velden Rail should be given responsibility for whole-industry performance reporting, timetable development, specification of small and medium network enhancements, and the delivery of route-specific utilisation strategies. However the reviews statement would not be turned into action till the 1994 Velden Rail Act.
