Map key:
Blue- station served by high speed (125 mph max.) and express train (90 mph max) trains traveling through said community. (For simplicity, only communities with crew changes are listed)

Normal Trains
The trains use coaches based on 1940s pullmans. Any locomotives can be signed to normal trains. It depends on the distance of these trains and their speed. Usually, however, they are handled by EMD SD diesels.

Branchline trains
Usually, the branchline passenger train are handled by Budd RDC cars. But if a certain line's population density makes the RDC too small, K series 4-6-0s are used. On the FEC, 4-6-2s are used.
