History
The Georgienstinian National Railway was founded on the 24th of October 2018 by Alexandre Olivier, the then-Secretary of Transportation. The first train sets arrived at the beginning of November 2018. The first train sets to operate were a 4-carriage Siemens ICE and a variant of a Toshiba HD300. The rolling stock dealer was based in Calgary, Alberta. Eastern Station and Cargo Depot 1 begin operations after inauguration by the President of Georgienstine, Raphaël Olivier, when planning for the construction of the Central Station commenced.
In late 2020, Central Station opened after considerable delays. The railway is partially closed for renovation that is planned to last until June 2021. After high criticism towards the Secretary of Transportation, Guy Fawkes, congressman [[Alexandre Olivier I|Alexandre Olivier]] presents the Railway Privatization Act, which passes and the railway officially becomes a private corporation. The bill is officialized on April 24, 2021.

Accidents and incidents
In August 2020, the sole ICE train in Georgienstine derailed after having gone over a half-closed railway junction.
