2100A.D. The world has entered a new age of super high-speed railways. The World Railway Conference has introduced the Laser Rail, a whole new form of travel in which trains are no longer confined to the ground.
To operate on the Laser Rail, the Train Base is established. Here, trains from across the globe, installed with artificial intelligences and robot bodies. Thus the Train Heroes are born.
Within the Train Base, these Train Heroes undergo strict training sessions. On occasion, they are called upon to assist in disaster rescue and relief.

Where it came from
Train Heroes debuted in 2013 as a collaborative animation project between Japan's TV Tokyo and South Korean production entities. The series was designed to appeal to younger audiences by blending high-concept science fiction with the popular fascination for high-speed rail, reimagining trains as sentient, transforming rescue vehicles capable of anthropomorphic feats.
The character designs were crafted to emphasize durability and speed, reflecting the aesthetic sensibilities of mid-2010s children's television where mechanical utility met heroic archetypes. While the series served as a vehicle for merchandising and international cooperation, it is primarily recognized today as a niche entry in the sub-genre of transforming-vehicle animation, gaining a modest footprint in regional markets before its wider distribution.
