List of railway companies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of the world's railway operating companies listed alphabetically by continent and country. This list includes companies operating both now and in the past.

Note also that in some countries, the railway operating bodies are not companies, but are government departments or authorities.

Historically in some countries, over a period of time, it has gone from Railway Company, then Nationalised to Government Railways, then reverted to Railway Company as operators of the railways.

With privatisation in the 1980s and the separation of the track from the trains that run upon them, there are now track-only companies and train-only companies.
