KCR (Kowloon-Canton Railway) is a railway network in central Joban, stretching from Central South to Joestu. The eastern section of the Joban railway network is a monopoly for KCRC, which is the company that owns and operates the network. The network is the only network in central Joban not to be government-owned, with Shintetsu operating in the southern regions of Joban.
Network
Although most railway networks are operated by a consortium of companies, central Joban is unique in that every company owns and maintains their own network. The KCR network is operated exclusively by KCRC, and consists of 1 main line, 1 Shinkansen, and multiple feeder lines. The Joestu Line, which is technically the KCR Main Line, is broken up into 3 portions: City, Urban, and Joestu Main Line (Referred simply to as Joestu Line on the system map.)
