The Trans-Han Motorail Express is an 855-mile (1,376 km) scheduled daily train service for passengers and their automobiles operated by the Trans-Han Motorail Express Corporation (THMEC), a joint subsidiary of Baltanla National Railways and the Monsilvan Railways Administration. The trains operated by the express are motorail trains which allow passengers to bring their personal vehicles with them to their destination. The service runs from Mitrea, Baltanla to Amking and Luhai, Monsilva.

Passengers ride in coach seats or private sleeping car rooms while their vehicles are carried in enclosed automobile-carrying freight cars called autoracks. The train can carry up to 420 vehicles. The train also includes lounge cars and dining cars. The THME allows its passengers to avoid driving on the major highways within Baltanla and Monsilva, including the main highway connecting the two nations, whilst bringing their cars with them. It has the highest revenue of any train in BNR's Long Distance Service Lines.

The service operates as train number 52 northbound and number 53 southbound. The train operates non-stop between its Seattal and Amking and Luhai terminals, except for a brief stop in Vinh Trang, for servicing and a crew change of the engineer and conductors.
