The '''Ŋafrican Association of Rail Networks''', or '''ŊARN''' for short, is a transnational organization in charge of building and upkeeping [[Cenrail network|rail networks]] across [[Ŋafrica]]. It was started by [[Fin]] of the [[Port of Eras]]. On Aug 31 2025 it was absorbed into the newly created [[Ŋafrican Union]], and is currently under the leadership of Ŋafrican Union Secretary Astaryuu.

==Cooperation with Cenrail==
In addition to building ŊARN's own network of lines, the organization has also worked on improving [[Cenrail]] transit to Ŋafrica, to hopefully increase traffic to this part of the ŋorld. This includes extending the Ŋafrican Line past [[Maryland]], redirecting the Coastal Line and Western Line, and extending the former to [[Port Marcy]].

==Rail lines==
Rail lines that are officially backed by ŊARN are referred to by a name usually given by the ŋation at one or the other end of the line. Lines also are referred to by an emoji, in keeping with Cenrail standard signage. However, the list of ŊARN emojis is distinct from the list of Cenrail emojis, and may overlap with it.

===Line history===
====Lesbian U-Haul Express====
The [[Lesbian U-Haul Express]] was created to connect [[Maraśa]] with [[Jotlond]], but due to a lack of other plans, was briefly attached to the Maraśań Shuttle, a local line. It was detached when the Shuttle had to be extended on the other side of Śaracþáw. [[User:Pikkuhiljaa|Hilja]] has expressed a desire to extend the line from Śaracþáw to [[Krīpetēpla]] on the other side, however this plan is still pending approval from Sebroar.

Meanwhile, [[Vallis Draconum]] was in talks with [[Adnar]] over making a line between them. However, [[Greenification (Adnar)|greenification]] put a damper on that, and Vallis Draconum sanctioned Adnar by saying that it would only build the then-unnamed Copper Line if Adnar agreed to put a miniature pale garden in or near East [[Đòong Sơn]] station. Adnar, of course, opposed this.

Jotlond desperately wanted to not be stuck only being able to use the [[Klakkenbuutsh Line|"Klakkenshit Line"]] to get to Ŋafrica, putting pressure on Adnar, [[Rauratoshan]], and Vallis Draconum. Rauratoshan didn't wish to create a diplomatic incident by going between or around Adnar, and had an even harsher sanction for Adnar's station, but eventually revoked its offer when Vallis Draconum made it clear that it had infrastructure for the Copper Line already in place.

Pressure from Jotlond upon both ŋations caused Vallis Draconum to cave, and revoke its demand for a miniature pale garden in the East Đòong Sơn station. The Copper Line was therefore to be extended through both of Adnar's main transit hubs, and then to Jotlond. Seo, though, stated that the best way to handle the Copper Line's Jotlond terminus would be to attach it to the Jotlond terminus of the Lesbian U-Haul Express. There were disagreements over the name of the merged line; using both in an Ayers Rock / Uluru fashion seems to have been the final decision.
