The analysis of global single track non-electrified railway lines length by country reveals significant variations. In 2023, Russia led with 37.7 thousand kilometers, followed by Kazakhstan at 11.26 thousand kilometers. While some countries like Kazakhstan and Spain experienced growth at 1.11% and 0.67% respectively, others such as Poland, Sweden, and Austria saw declines. Noteworthy is Portugal’s significant reduction at 2.7%. Over the last five years, countries with consistently decreasing track lengths, like Austria and Poland, indicate potential divestment or modernization efforts.
Looking ahead, expect a shift towards electrification, particularly in Europe, to reduce emissions and improve efficiency. Emerging markets might pursue non-electrified expansions to boost connectivity economically.
