Map of the world with rail density (length of rail network divided by area of country) highlighted. This does not necessarily reflect actual rail use. This is a list of countries by rail usage. Usage of rail transport may be measured in tonne-kilometres (tkm) or passenger-kilometres (pkm) travelled for freight and passenger transport ...
