The '''International Railway Union''' (IRU) is a multinational organization with the aim to provide regulations, rules and standards, making the worlds railway systems interoperable and strengthen international rail traffic. The IRU is temporarily headquartered in [[Mergany]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Railways in [[Uletha]], [[Tarephia]] and [[Archanta]] started to standardize their railways in the 1920s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Organisation and members=&lt;br /&gt;
==Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
*Antarephia Department&lt;br /&gt;
*Astrasia Department&lt;br /&gt;
*Archanta Major Department&lt;br /&gt;

*Tarephia Department&lt;br /&gt;
*West Uletha Department&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Technical committees==&lt;br /&gt;
Technical committees of the IRU usually consist of leading railway experts of the member nations and companies. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Membership==&lt;br /&gt;
Different kinds of memberships exist in the IRU:&lt;br /&gt;
* Railway governing agencies are ''National members'', they convert IRU-specifications into national laws/guidelines.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rolling stock manufacturers and railway construction companies are ''Primary members''.&lt;br /&gt;
* Independent research institutions and academic departments are ''Associated members''.&lt;br /&gt;
* Passenger or freight train operators can become ''Applied Members''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==List of railways by country==&lt;br /&gt;
The list includes all railway networks, operators, institutions related to railway and railway manufacturing companies.&lt;br /&gt;

=Standards=&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:IRUpalett.jpg|300px|thumb|right|IRU-pallet according to IRU-C 893|link=]]&lt;br /&gt;
International standards regarding railway infrastructure are either newly defined by the IRUs' technical committees or existing national standards are adopted and translated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some IRU-Codes (IRU-C) are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Track gauges==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div id=&amp;quot;standard gauge&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*IRU-C 302: The '''standard gauge''', also called normal gauge, is a widely used railway track gauge with a distance of 1435 mm between the inside edges of the rails.&lt;br /&gt;
**{{MER-overpquery | name = worldwide usage of standard gauge (1435 mm) | search1 = gauge/1435}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div id=&amp;quot;broad gauge&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div id=&amp;quot;narrow gauge&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*IRU-C 304: '''Broad gauges''' are all railway track gauges broader than the standard gauge, e.g. the [[Karolia|Karolian]] broad gauge, or simply the Karolian gauge, with 1544 mm between the inside edges of the rails, used in [[Karolia]], [[Darcodia]] and [[Meridonia]], the broad gauge with 1780mm used for the [[AVE-hi-speed railway]] in [[Latina]] or the Norlensk gauge with 1892 mm used in [[Norðurland]]. By contrast '''narrow gauges''' are all railway track gauges narrower than the standard gauge, e.g. the meter gauge with 1000 mm used in [[Ataraxia]], [[Commonia]] and [[Paroy]] or the Cape gauge (named after the railway engineer Jonathan Cape) with 1067 mm used in [[Karvaland]], [[New Ingerland]] and the [[South Astrasian Federation]].&lt;br /&gt;
**{{MER-overpquery | name = worldwide usage of meter gauge (1000 mm) | search1 = gauge/1000}}&lt;br /&gt;
**{{MER-overpquery | name = worldwide usage of Cape gauge (1067 mm) | search1 = gauge/1067}}&lt;br /&gt;
**{{MER-overpquery | name = worldwide usage of Karolia gauge (1544 mm) | search1 = gauge/1544}}&lt;br /&gt;
**{{MER-overpquery | name = worldwide usage of broad gauge (1780 mm) | search1 = gauge/1780}}&lt;br /&gt;
**{{MER-overpquery | name = worldwide usage of Norlensk gauge (1892 mm) | search1 = gauge/1892}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Loading gauges==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div id=&amp;quot;loading gauge&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[File:Lademass_EBO.png|300px|thumb|right|Loading gauge according to IRU-C 311-EU|link=]]&lt;br /&gt;
*IRU-C 311: '''Loading gauges''' defines the maximum width  and height for railway vehicles (including their loads) to ensure safe passage through bridges, tunnels and other structures. The classification system usually varies between different countries. Loading gauges can vary across a network, even if the track gauge remains constant.&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Electrification==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div id=&amp;quot;electrification system&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*IRU-C 322: Common '''electrification systems''' for overhead lines are 1500 V DC, 3000 V DC, 15000 V 16 2/3 Hz AC (sometimes 16.67 Hz or 16.7 Hz) and 25000 V 50 Hz AC.&lt;br /&gt;
**{{MER-overpquery | name = worldwide usage of 1500 V | search1 = electrified/contact_line | search2 = voltage/1500 }}&lt;br /&gt;
**{{MER-overpquery | name = worldwide usage of 3000 V | search1 = electrified/contact_line | search2 = voltage/3000 }}&lt;br /&gt;
**{{MER-overpquery | name = worldwide usage of 15000 V 16.67 Hz | search1 = electrified/contact_line | search2 = voltage/15000 | search3 = frequency/16.67 }} or {{MER-overpquery | name = 16.7 Hz | search1 = electrified/contact_line | search2 = voltage/15000 | search3 = frequency/16.7 }}&lt;br /&gt;
**{{MER-overpquery | name = worldwide usage of 25000 V 50 Hz | search1 = electrified/contact_line | search2 = voltage/25000 | search3 = frequency/50 }}&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other notable standards==&lt;br /&gt;
*IRU-C 631: To transmit data (or commands) between two locomotives or a locomotive and the carriages of a passenger train a '''standardized 17-corded connection cable''' is used.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*IRU-C 893: The IRU-pallet is the '''worldwide standard pallet'''. Pallets conforming to the standardization are eligible for the World Pallet Exchange Pool (WPEP) organized by the [[World Organization of Trade]] and thus allow for an exchange as &amp;quot;pallet for pallet&amp;quot;. IRU-pallets are made of wood with 1200 mm by 800 mm by 150 mm such that they are also compatible with the [[Paroyan proportionate entity]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;
===IRU-TS-1965-0188===&lt;br /&gt;
Standard IRU-TS-1965-0188 defines international homogeneous tickets for cross-border-traveling and accounting between railway operators.&lt;br /&gt;
===IRU-TS-1980-0922===&lt;br /&gt;
Standard IRU-TS-1980-0922 covers the size of rolling stocks Structure gauge *Fixme: Add pictures*&lt;br /&gt;
===IRU-TS-1994-1053===&lt;br /&gt;
Standard  IRU-TS-1994-1053 is based on the [[Railways in Lapistan and Azurea#Payment processing|Lapistan and Azurea Payment processing standard]], more TBA--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*[[List of railways]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;
[[List of railways|Railways]] have an huge impact on [[Lapistan and Azurea]]'s economy as many people and products are transported via train.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Physical propertys=&lt;br /&gt;
Main gauge width in most of the country is 1435mm, but there are a few narrow gauge tracks in parks and museums.&lt;br /&gt;
The State of Deserterria contains some broader gauge (1650 mm), freight only, non-electrified railways.&lt;br /&gt;
If a line is electrified the power is usually supplied via overhead wire, 25kV 60Hz, height of the line: 6.5m (1m for rolling stock base, 4,5m for Cargo, 1m for security clearance), but some (metro) lines have a third rail.&lt;br /&gt;
=Regulatory bodys=&lt;br /&gt;
==Nationales Amt für Eisenbahnwesen==&lt;br /&gt;
The ''Nationales Amt für Eisenbahnwesen''(National Railway Bureau) coordinates the service between all partys that are involved in any kind of rail transportation.&lt;br /&gt;
Responsibilities include:&lt;br /&gt;
* Railway line numbering&lt;br /&gt;
* Certification of regulatory compliance&lt;br /&gt;
** For railway staff&lt;br /&gt;
** Rolling stock&lt;br /&gt;
** Foreign rail companies&lt;br /&gt;
* Implementation of necessary [[International Railway Union#Standards|international standards]] as national law.&lt;br /&gt;
* Payment processing&lt;br /&gt;
* Standardization&lt;br /&gt;
** of signalling systems&lt;br /&gt;
** Track geometry&lt;br /&gt;
** Rolling stock&lt;br /&gt;
* Arbitration body for conflicts between companys&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Payment processing===&lt;br /&gt;
A new payment processing standard was developed in 1992, deployment started in 1993 and finished in 1999, it was ratified by the IRU in 1995&lt;br /&gt;
The payment processing was a difficult process in the past but now each owner change is equipped with balises which have a maximum passing speed of 500 km/h.&lt;br /&gt;
For example a highspeed train traveling from Deserterria to Westannex uses rails from up to four different companies and the stations of the Bahnhofsbetriebs AG, which would be really difficult to account with traditional technology.&lt;br /&gt;
Each train has to carry a toll processing module which senses the currently used track with the help of balises and sends it to the Bureau, where the fees are calculated and, after payment by the operator of the train, is then transferred to the operators of the track, see [http://osm3s.opengeofiction.net/overpass-turbo/?q=LyoKVGhpcyBoYcSGYmVlbiBnxI1lcmF0ZWQgYnkgdGhlIG92xJJwxIlzLXR1cmJvIHdpemFyZC7EgsSdxJ9yaWdpbmFsIHNlxLBjaMSsxIk6CsOiwoDCnMSTaWx3YXk9b3duxJJfxYJhbsSQxYjCnQoqLwpbb3V0Ompzb25dW3RpbWXFosWkMjVdOwovL8SPxJTEnXIgcmVzdWx0cwooCiAgxbcgcXXEksSaxKNydCBmb3I6IMWIxYphxYzFjsWQxZLFlHLFlsSIxZllxZvGhyBub2RlWyLFi8WNxY8iPSLGn8WVxZfGpCJdKHt7YsSqeH19KcW1xojGncatxq_GncayxrTFk8a2xqPEkMa5xrvGvca_x4HHg8anxb5sxJRpxajHh8abxrB5x4rGtcahxrfHj8a6xrzGvm_HgMeCxbXHlcaKcMS3bsaSxb7GgMaCxoTFsMSYxqp5xbU-xbXHtnNrZcS9cXQ7&amp;amp;c=BP7ryS358G&amp;amp;R this overpass query] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balise this wikipedia article] for further information.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*Round Signs: Announcement signal&lt;br /&gt;
*Square Signs: Point after which annouced speed must not be exceeded&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:LA full Signal With KASSYS-Indicator.png|200px|thumb|right|Comination Light signal with [[#In-Cab-Signalling/KASSYS|KASSYS]]-Indicator (White)]]&lt;br /&gt;
In the beginning, every railway network operator used different, incompatible, sometimes similar-looking signals, which led to too much accidents and fatalities, thus the LAGEBASI ('''L'''apistan und '''A'''zurea '''Ge'''meinschafts'''ba'''hn'''si'''gnal) was developed (Picture on the right).&lt;br /&gt;
=====Minor light signals=====&lt;br /&gt;
tbd&lt;br /&gt;
====In-Cab-Signalling/KASSYS====&lt;br /&gt;
Development of the KASSYS (''Ka''binen''s''ignalisierungs''sys''tem started in the late seventies. Main reason for the development was to drive with higher speeds, where normal light signals are unreadable. Another reason for this development was to submit better information to the train driver and to have a constant data line for monitoring and reporting.&lt;br /&gt;
Data is transmitted with via loops in the tracks, see [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bf/Feste_Fahrbahn_FFB%C3%B6gl.jpg]&lt;br /&gt;
=====Versions=====&lt;br /&gt;
======KASSYS-0======&lt;br /&gt;
First version to be developed, Features:&lt;br /&gt;
* Basic operation signals (halt, drive, emergency-stop,override)&lt;br /&gt;
* Speed information&lt;br /&gt;
* Distance to next signal&lt;br /&gt;
* Basic data-up/downlink&lt;br /&gt;
======KASSYS-1======&lt;br /&gt;
First version to be actually implemented on the network, New features from Version 0:&lt;br /&gt;
* Train position detection&lt;br /&gt;
* Automatic emergency declaration (Driver doesn't respond, fire detection system alerts etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
* Enhanced data-up/downlink&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
======KASSYS-2======&lt;br /&gt;
All current HSR-Lines are equipped with this version. New features from Version 1:&lt;br /&gt;
* Timetable information&lt;br /&gt;
* Shorter blocks [300m instead of 1 km])&lt;br /&gt;
======KASSYS-10======&lt;br /&gt;
Currently being rolled out nationwide,  also known as ''LIAISON'' ('''Li'''nienbasierte, '''a'''utomatische '''i'''ntegrierte Zug'''s'''teuerung und '''O'''rganisatio'''n''') complete software rewrite and new hardware along the tracks, but the data transmission loops in the tracks stay the same, additional communication via a separate mobile network, fallback mode to KASSYS-2 if mobile network fails.&lt;br /&gt;
Trains without KASSYS-10-Equipment pay a higher track usage fee on frequently used tracks after the system is implemented nationwide.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Features from KASSYS-2:&lt;br /&gt;
* ''Moving Block''/''Fahren im absoluten Bremswegabstand'', one train can follow another one at high speeds right at the braking distance, this feature was added to get the most out of highly occupied HSR-Tracks, the following train automatically slows down if the communication to the preceding train is lost.&lt;br /&gt;
* ''Reversing'' Trains can be automatically allowed to reverse (e.g. when there is a fire in a tunnel)&lt;br /&gt;
* Additional railway-only mobile communication network Data-Link&lt;br /&gt;
* Redundant Data delivery via Data transmission loop and mobil network&lt;br /&gt;
* Commands can be send to Driver via mobile network instead of costly data transmission loops inside the track, tracks only need to contain passive infrastructure to detect the position of the train, same system used as for the [[Railways_in_Lapistan_and_Azurea#Payment_processing|Payment processing]], therefore cheaper to implement on other tracks&lt;br /&gt;
======KASSYS-20======&lt;br /&gt;
Development just started.&lt;br /&gt;
New Features from KASSYS-10:&lt;br /&gt;
* Automatic transmission of track-geometry statistics for better maintenace.&lt;br /&gt;
* Better handling of trans border traffic (with non-KASSYS-Trainsets) via ''FEE'' ('''F'''remddaten'''e'''inlese'''e'''inheit, Foreign Data Importing Unit), small device to be attached to a foreign vehicles internal Bus-System/[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fieldbus Fieldbus] which communicates with the railways mobile data network.&lt;br /&gt;
