Porciúncula is a center for the Sierran passenger rail system, with {{W|Union Station (Los Angeles)|Kingdom Station}} being the busiest train station on the West Coast. There are passenger trains linking it to [[San Diego]] in the south, {{W|Santa Barbara, California|Santa Barbara}} to the north, and the province of [[Inland Empire]] to the east, which connect to many other destinations beyond that. [[Brightline]] is a high-speed train that also links the capital to several other cities. | |||
There are several rail yards in Downtown Porciúncula, which are connected to the ports by the {{W|Alameda Corridor}}, a 20-mile freight rail expressway that passes under many roads before returning to ground level at the rail yards, allowing trains to avoid grade crossings. Most of the track is owned by [[Royal Pacific Railroad]], though it has partnered with the [[Joillet, Topéque and Santa Fe Railway]], which has been granted joint trackage rights on part of the line around the ports. | |||
