Operators are a key feature of Stepford County Railway. These operators use differing rolling stock, which can be spawned at various Depots & Sidings depending on the selected route, which are also different depending on the operator.

Stepford Connect, sometimes simply referred to as Connect, operates rail services to various districts around Stepford County, such as Benton, Leighton, Morganstown, Whitefield, Berrily, Stepford Airport, Llyn-by-the-Sea and Willowfield. A full journey on the main line, which runs from Stepford Central to Llyn-by-the-Sea using Route R024 takes around 44 minutes to complete.

The operator is classified as commuter rail as the intent of the services is to deliver passengers to and from major centres, indicated by the current routes, rather than being a link for intermediate stations in between some large areas like regional rail. The trains on this route reach a maximum speed of 110 MPH, and a minimum of 75 MPH, with the average being 100 MPH.

As part of a renewed franchise from 1 May 2020, this operator is now branded as Stepford Connect and bears a  bright blue (#009EE1)  colour scheme, courtesy of rail management system Transport For Stepford. Prior to the renewal, the brand was simply Connect and bore a  dark turquoise (#008F9C)  colour scheme.

Waterline, stylised in all lowercase, operates rail services to various districts around Stepford County, such as Newry Harbour, Newry, Benton, Connolly, Farleigh, Esterfield, Morganstown and Greenslade. A full journey on the main line, which runs from Newry to Benton, takes about 6 minutes.

The operator is classified as a regional commuter rail due to its short travel times and the stations it serves. Several trains on this route can go as fast as 100 MPH, that can be reached between Newry and Eden Quay (only southbound services) and on sections between Airport West and Esterfield, while the average operational speed is 90 MPH.

Prior to 1 May 2020, this route was a sub-franchise of Connect, branded as WaterLine and bearing a  navy blue (#002D5F)  colour scheme. As of now, it operates as its own separate franchise and bears a  greyish blue (#7F8FA6)  colour scheme.

AirLink (originally called AirExpress) operates rail services from Stepford Central and Leighton to Stepford Airport, linking Berrily and Morganstown along the way. A full journey on the main line, which runs from Stepford Central to Stepford Airport Central, takes about eight minutes non-stop. This operator originally bore a  yellow (#EFC931)  colour scheme, but it later changed to an  orange (#E27A14)  colour scheme after the first rebranding in Version 1.3.1.

On 27 August 2022, AirLink introduced the AirLink Shuttle branding on the Class 345. This branding can currently only be found on the aforementioned train and there is only one route using this branding, that route being the Class 345-exclusive R060 (Terminals Shuttle).

The route is classified as semi-high-speed rail, but it is also considered (and is) an airport rail link. A majority of the trains on this route are capable of a maximum speed of 100 miles per hour, with the exception of the Class 802, and the Class 397, which can achieve 125 miles per hour and the Class 387, which can achieve 110 miles per hour. Trains commonly run at top speed on the section of the line between Stepford Airport and Stepford City or Leighton. After reaching Airport Central, some of the trains will terminate there. The other services enter the tunnels and move up to the airport's terminals. (Terminal 1, Terminal 2 and Terminal 3).

Stepford Express, sometimes simply referred to as Express, operates rail services to various districts around Stepford County, such as Stepford Central, Benton, Leighton, Morganstown and Llyn-by-the-Sea. With the release of Version 1.9 on 15 May 2022, the operator began serving the Newry Zone, Eden Quay and Westercoast.

Stepford Express is classified as high-speed rail, due to the fact that it skips the majority of stations along its line that are operated by Stepford Connect. It uses rolling stock that are specially designed for high-speed lines, with speeds up to a maximum of 125 miles per hour. However, due to its recent changes which involved having the line stop at the smaller stations of Westercoast, Eden Quay and Newry Harbour, this operator could now be classified as semi-high-speed on these routes.

A full journey on the main line, from Stepford Central to Llyn-by-the-Sea (using R077) takes about 23 minutes, while a faster, more nonstop version can do the route (using R078) in 22 minutes. A much more nonstop route can make the journey (using R081) in 17 minutes. This operator bears a  pink rose (#FF0080)  colour scheme as of Version 1.7. Before that, the brand was simply Express and bore a  deep violet (#6B1E6B)  colour scheme.
