Notes
  1. ^ This refers to both track ownership and train operation
  2. ^ Freight operated by private on public tracks
    commuter and metro operated by state
  3. ^ The figure is mentioned as the total network length in 1990,[20] but the total network length may have grown after 1990.
  4. ^ 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.
  5. ^ The Spanish railway network comprises the 11,934.3 km of the ADIF network (6,706.4 of them are electrified),[29] the 3,455.7 electrified km of the ADIF AV network,[30] 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).[31]
  6. ^ This figure is a combination of the British (15,874 km)[33] and Northern Irish (357 km)[34] networks.
  7. ^ This is the figure for Britain as Northern Ireland does not have any electrified railways.
  8. ^ This figure is a combination of the British (20,419 mi)[35] and Northern Irish (754 mi)[36] networks in 1929. This gives a total of 21,173 mi, which is 34,075 km.
  9. ^ 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.[73] 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.

Thus, inclusion of basic intelligence on the EU has been deemed appropriate as a new, separate entity in The World Factbook.

and train operation Freight operated by private on public tracks commuter and metro operated by state The figure is mentioned as the total network length in 1990 20 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 Swinoujscie 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 29 the 3 455 7 electrified km of the ADIF AV network 30 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 Malaga 12 km 31 This figure is a combination of the British 15 874 km 33 and Northern Irish 357 km 34 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 35 and Northern Irish 754 mi 36 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 73 Transport and trans European networks are among shared competence between EU and member states As the EU is not a country the
