- Notes
- ↑ This refers to both track ownership and train operation
- ↑ Freight transport operated by private companies on public tracks under concession. Commuter rail and metro systems mostly operated by state owned companies.
- ↑ The RFI cited that length as the total railway length in exercise in 2011,[19] but it could have been longer in previous years.
- ↑ The Spanish railway network comprises the 11,934.3 km of the ADIF network (6,706.4 of them are electrified),[21] the 3,455.7 electrified km of the ADIF AV network,[22] the electrified Catalan FGC (253.4 km) and the electrified Metro networks of Madrid (293 km), Barcelona (166 km), Valencia (156.4 km), Bilbao (51 km), Seville (18 km), Palma (15.6 km) and Málaga (12 km).[23]
- ↑ In 2014, Network Rail, which owns the railway infrastructure in Great Britain, was reclassified as a "public sector body" and its financial liabilities are now formally included as part of the national debt.[24] Much debate continues if this constitutes as the "nationalisation" of Network Rail.[citation needed] Private firms continue to operate the majority of train services under government franchises or concessions.
- ↑ The figure is mentioned as the total network length in 1990,[28] but the total network length may have grown after 1990.
- ↑ Mainly privately operated, but thoroughly subsidised (~25%) by taxes and by federal, cantonal and municipal subsidies[citation needed].
- ↑ The European Union (EU) is an economic and political union of Template:EUnum member states that are located primarily in Europe. The EU is included as a separate entity because it has many attributes of independent nations, being much more than a free-trade association such as ASEAN, NAFTA, or Mercosur.[50] Transport and trans-European networks are among shared competence between EU and member states. As the EU is not a country, the United States is the first ranked country on these lists.

Although the EU is not a federation in the strict sense, it is far more than a free-trade association such as ASEAN, NAFTA, or Mercosur, and it has certain attributes associated with independent nations: its own flag, currency (for some members), and law-making abilities, as well as diplomatic representation and a common foreign and security policy in its dealings with external partners. Thus, inclusion of basic intelligence on the EU has been deemed appropriate as a new, separate entity in The World Factbook.
