List of high-speed railway lines
This article provides a list of operational and under construction (or approved) high-speed rail networks, listed by country or region. While the International Union of Railways defines high-speed rail as public transport by rail at speeds of at least 200 km/h (124 mph) for upgraded tracks and 250 km/h (155 mph) or faster for new tracks, the overview section of this article lists the total length of tracks that support speeds over 200 km/h (120 mph) regardless of their statuses of upgraded or newly built.[1] [2]
Overview
Operational networks
The following table is an overview of high-speed rail in service or under construction by country, ranked by the amount in service. It shows all the high speed lines (speed of 200 km/h (125 mph) or over) in service. The list is based on UIC figures (International Union of Railways ),[3] [4] updated with other sources.[5]
