@Gaelan also not *actually* national but, in case you wanted to see an unusual one: in Catalonia FGC has a train coupling mechanism as a logo!

@elizabeth reminds me of the Singapore MRT (which does make it in, despite being a metro, because it handles rail for the entire country!) - I wonder if they were going for a coupler as well?

@elizabeth making use of a bit of english pedantry: acronyms are pronounced as one word (eg NASA, Renfe), while initialisms are pronounced as individual letters (eg SNCF)
