Ŋafrican Association of Rail Networks
The Ŋafrican Association of Rail Networks, or ŊARN for short, is a transnational organization in charge of building and upkeeping 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 began as a Maraśań local line, before being extended to Jotlond.
Meanwhile, Vallis Draconum was in talks with Adnar over making a line between them. However, 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 "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.
