Railway operators are companies or organizations responsible for managing and running train services. They oversee the operation of trains, including scheduling, maintenance, and safety. These operators ensure that passengers and freight are transported efficiently and on time across various routes. In many countries, railway operators may be state-owned or private entities. They work closely with infrastructure managers who maintain the tracks and stations. Some well-known railway operators include Amtrak in the United States and Deutsche Bahn in Germany, each providing essential services to millions of travelers every year.
