The Monsilvan Railways Administration (MRA) (Monsilvan: 山國鐵路) is a railway operator in Monsilva. It is an agency of the Department for Transport, responsible for managing, maintaining, and running conventional passenger and freight railway services on throughout Monsilva. It is owned entirely by the federal government and runs all rail transportation between Monsilva's states.
Since Monsilva is heavily urbanised, railways have played an important part in domestic transportation since the late 19th century. Passenger traffic in 2018 was 231,267,955. The MRA administers all railways in Monsilva, however state level railway operators can run services on their tracks. Examples include the Amking Metro which sprawls all across Amking and uses a lot of MRA rail.
The agency's headquarters are in Central, Amking.
