About RailwayDB

A database of 113 railways, train routes, railway stations, and engineering landmarks from around the world.

Each railway page gives the country, the year it opened, its length and the route it runs, followed by a short history and notable facts. Other railways in the same country are linked from each page.

Browse the curated lists on the homepage or use the search box to find a railway by name, country or city. The FAQ and blog cover record holders such as the longest, fastest and highest lines.
