Federal Railway Authority

The Federal Railway Authority (or similar agency, depending on the country) is a government organization responsible for overseeing and regulating rail transportation. It ensures that railway companies adhere to safety standards, compliance laws, and operational best practices. The agency also grants licenses, inspections, and certifications for railway operations, equipment, and infrastructure. Its goal is to promote safe, reliable, and efficient rail services for passengers and freight, while also overseeing accident investigations and implementing safety improvements. Essentially, it acts as a regulator and watchdog to maintain high safety and service standards within the national railway system.
