Trans-Rail livery on Class 37 no. 37674 at Westbury on 17 April 2004.

For the former New Zealand company, see Tranz Rail.

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. Trans-Rail, Load-Haul and Mainline Freight were purchased by a consortium led by Wisconsin Central in 1996 and amalgamated to form EWS, later renamed DB Schenker Rail (UK).

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. Locomotive operated included the Class 08, 31, 37, 47, 56 and Class 60.
