A Rail Operator is a company or organization responsible for managing and running train services. They ensure that trains operate safely and efficiently, providing transportation for passengers and freight. Rail operators coordinate schedules, maintain trains, and oversee staff, including conductors and engineers. In many countries, rail operators work closely with government agencies and other transportation providers to integrate services. They may also be involved in infrastructure development, such as building new tracks or stations. Examples of rail operators include Amtrak in the United States and Deutsche Bahn in Germany.
