Really nice and useful map. Barry Kent 10:14, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Nice map, but almost entire Peloponese (892 km of track) uses narrow gauge (1000mm), but the smallish square suggests otherwise. Standard gauge ends in Korinthos, then you must change to narrow gauge if you want to continue further to Peloponese. Also, there is 22 km Diakofton-Kalavryta track which uses 700mm gauge --Křžut 19:28, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Please review the mm to inches conversion used in the key. For instance, 1000 > 950, but 3'3.35" < 3'4.1". Also, 4'8 1/2" could be more consistently labelled as 4'8.5". Sabbut (talk) 13:36, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

oh they were the wrong way round, should be 3'1.4" not 3'4.1" Roke (talk) 20:56, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

I made a new version of the pic Rail gauge world key.PNG (2" should be 2')

then uploaded it to Rail gauge key.PNG

Not sure why it doesn't show up, but I've replaced the key image anyway now Roke (talk) 21:03, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Sweden

Sweden has 891 mm gauge, not only museum railways, but also the fully operating en:Roslagsbanan, subject to upgrading and plans of extension.--195.198.195.30 22:53, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Vatican

The Vatican has a train station and hence a gauge. It is the same as the Italian one. The map needs to be updated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_transport_in_Vatican_City

Ethiopia and Djibouti

The meter gauge railway is defunct since opening of the new Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway which has 1435 mm.--Kopiersperre (talk) 22:54, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

This is a lovely map. Ethiopia and Djibouti are now standard-gauge countries, with the opening of the Addis Ababa–Djibouti Railway and Addis Ababa's light rail. Tom Radulovich (talk) 00:45, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Indeed, all true. I changed the colors of the map accordingly. In addition, more railway lines are being built in Ethiopia right now and an extension of the standard-gauge railway lines into Somaliland and kenya as well as Sudan are planned. --Metrancya (talk) 13:45, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the changes. It looks as though Kenya will become the world's next standard-gauge country when the Mombasa-Nairobi standard gauge railway opens on June 1. I don't know whether all meter-gauge service will end at the same time, or will continue between Nairobi and the Uganda border. http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/50-more-trains-to-arrive-from-China-by-May-ahead-of-June-launch/539546-3514366-xpvgu6z/ Tom Radulovich (talk) 00:59, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Narrow gauge railway in Romania

Hello! Nice map! One minor correction: you can still find narrow gauge railway in Romania at this time (mostly 760 mm). Some are getting currently restored for tourism usage. See Mocăniță for example. Thanks. --Codrin.B (talk) 10:46, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Nigeria

Nigeria has had an operating standard gauge railway between Abuja and Kaduna, which opened in July 2016. It's intended to be first phase of several planned gauge conversions. [1] [2]/ Tom Radulovich (talk) 01:45, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

A second phase of the standard gauge railway, from Lagos to Ibadan, commenced construction on March 7 2017, with estimated completion in December 2018. [3]

Eswatini and Lesotho

• Eswatini has railroads since 1964 and is conected to the railroads of South Africa and Mosambique and has a gauge of 1067 mm as almost all railroads in the southern parts of Africa.
• Lesotho has 1,6 km of railroad, connected to South Africa and run by south african operators, gauge of 1067 mm. Believe it or not, the railroad dates back to 1905.
