Trans-Rail was a trainload railfreight operator based in South West England, Wales, the North West and Scotland. It was formed in 1994 prior to the privatisation of British Rail.

The company livery was based on the previous Trainload Freight two-tone grey livery, with the addition of a blue and red "T" logo and Trans-Rail branding.

Trans-Rail operated Class 08's, 31's, 37's, 56's and Class 60's.

Trans-Rail, Load-Haul and Mainline Freight were purchased by a consortium led by Wisconsin Central in 1996 and amalgamated to form EWS.
