Notes
^ This refers to both track ownership and train operation
^ This figure is the sum of the electrified lengths of the following railways: Amtrak (735 km),[2] Deseret Power Railway (53 km),[3] Iowa Traction Railway (9 km),[4] Long Island Rail Road (237 km),[2] Metra (99 km),[2] Metro-North Railroad (255 km),[2] Navajo Mine and Railroad (23 km),[5] NJ Transit Rail Operations (159 km)[2] and SEPTA Regional Rail (277 km).[6]
^ Freight operated by private on public tracks commuter and metro operated by state
^ The figure is mentioned as the total network length in 1990,[22] but the total network length may have grown after 1990.
^ Most of the railway lines in Poland belong to state-owned or local government companies, which in the case of the latter have a smaller share for the entire country. In the case of narrow-gauge lines, after the restructuring in 2000, none of them belong to PKP anymore, and most of them were taken over by local governments, private companies or associations of railway enthusiasts. Some industrial lines and a short line to Świnoujście Centrum are managed by private managers.
^ The Spanish railway network comprises the 11,934.3 km of the ADIF network (6,706.4 of them are electrified),[31] the 3,455.7 electrified km of the ADIF AV network,[32] the electrified Catalan FGC (253.4 km) and the electrified Metro networks of Madrid (293 km), Barcelona (166 km), Valencia (156.4 km), Bilbao (51 km), Seville (18 km), Palma (15.6 km) and Málaga (12 km).[33]
^ This figure is a combination of the British (15,846 km)[35] and Northern Irish (333 km)[36] networks.
^ This is the figure for Britain as Northern Ireland does not have any electrified railways.
^ This figure is a combination of the British (20,419 mi)[37] and Northern Irish (754 mi)[38] networks in 1929. This gives a total of 21,173 mi, which is 34,075 km.
^ The European Union (EU) is an economic and political union of 27 member states that are located primarily in Europe. The EU is included as a separate entity because it has many attributes of independent nations, being much more than a free-trade association such as ASEAN, NAFTA, or Mercosur.[77] Transport and trans-European networks are among shared competence between EU and member states.
As the EU is not a country, the United States is the first ranked country on these lists.
Countries without active network
Former operators
Bermuda , a British overseas territory , had a railway operating from 1931 to 1948.
Never had a network
