| - The Underground Railroad, also named Underground, Railroad or Railway, is a line of covert Resistance stations, hidden around City 17, that were designed to help refugees escape.
- An "underground railroad" is a network of secret routes, transports and safe places used to smuggle people out of the territory of a restrictive government. The term comes from the name of a similar network used on Earth in the 19th century United States, used to bring enslaved African descendants to Canada. In the 2360s, an underground railroad was established to smuggle Romulan dissidents out of the Romulan Star Empire to the Federation. (TNG novel: Death in Winter)
- An underground railway from the ancient days connects the southern tip of Romera with the desert continent of Southfar. During the Germanistani conquest of the nation, the railway tunnels became the site of a deadly deception staged by the SS - under the pretense of leading them out of the country into a safe base to organize the eventual reconquest of their homeland, a feign resistance leader led hundreds of army veterans, resistance fighters but also civilian refugees, among them a large portion of women and children, into the underground tunnels, where they were subsequently trapped and executed by SS operatives.
- The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses used by 19th-century black slaves in the United States to escape to free states and Canada with the aid of abolitionists and allies who were sympathetic to their cause. The term is also applied to the abolitionists, both black and white, free and enslaved, who aided the fugitives. Various other routes led to Mexico or overseas. While an "underground railroad" running south toward Florida, then a Spanish possession, existed from the late 17th century until shortly after the American Revolution, the network now generally known as the Underground Railroad was formed in the early 19th century, and reached its height between 1850 and 1860. One estimate suggests that by 1850, 100,000 slaves had escaped via the "Railroad". Br

One estimate suggests that by 1850, 100,000 slaves had escaped via the "Railroad". British North America (present-day Canada), where slavery was prohibited, was a popular destination, as its long border gave many points of access. More than 30,000 people were said to have escaped there via the network during its 20-year peak period, although U.S. Census figures account for only 6,000. Some fugitives' stories are documented in The Underground Railroad by William Still.
