A railroad system includes a plurality of trains and an operation management device. The operation management device manages operation of a subject train that is at least one of the plurality of trains. The operation management device includes a calculation unit and a communication unit. The calculation unit calculates a target arrival time at which the subject train is to arrive at a next station, upon occurrence of an arrival delay of a preceding train at the next station, the preceding train being a train among the plurality of trains and running ahead of the subject train; and, upon arrival of the preceding train at the next station, calculates a target arrival time at which the subject train is to arrive at the next station. The communication unit transmits, to the subject train, information on the target arrival time calculated by the calculation unit.
