Katrakhiva (Lithian: /ˈkatɾaχɪva/ "rapid train") or simply K2 is a network of high-speed railway lines serving Lugida and Kadya. It is the flagship train of HatriLugia. The network was initially built to alleviate traffic congestion between growing Natlia and Eldin. Now the K2 is marketed as an alternative to flights and a commuter rail network serving largest cities.
Since the opening of its first line, Chagail K2 in 1970, the network has expanded to consist of 2,800 kilometres (1,700 mi) of largely dedicated lines, going as far as Thiaándthina and Eájed in Kadya, with maximum speeds of up to 350 km/h (220 mph).
