{{Infobox rail}} is used to create an infobox on articles about railway companies; |name= is the only mandatory parameter.
{{Infobox rail line}} is used for railway lines; this template is sometimes used on articles about both a company and a line (e.g. Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway). It may also be used on affiliate companies operating rail public transit systems under contract (e.g. Arriva Rail London).
