List Of Railway Companies

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.

Particularly in Europe, with privatisations in the 1980s and the separation of the track ownership and management from running the trains, there are now many track-only companies and train-only companies.
