List of railway lines in Vietnam

[2] Besides this one, the system includes lines connecting Hanoi to the People's Republic of China, to surrounding cities such as Thái Nguyên, Hai Phong and Hạ Long.

[7] Other proposals aim to restore or completely rebuild previously existing lines that fell into disuse after the French Indochina War and the Vietnam War, such as the Da Lat–Thap Cham line, which now serves only to ferry tourists between Đà Lạt and the nearby village of Trại Mát.

Đồng Đăng is a station at the Vietnamese border with China, forming a part of the international Hanoi-Nanning rail link.

Since the line's abandonment after the Vietnam War, only a 7 km section remains in use, running from Da Lat station to the nearby village of Trại Mát, operated as a tourist attraction.

The largest such project is the high-speed North–South express railway connecting Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City, valued at approximately US$56 billion.

Funding of the $56 billion line would mainly come from the Vietnamese government; reports suggest Japanese development aid could be made available in stages, conditioned on the adoption of Shinkansen technology.

The line would begin with a junction of the North–South Railway at Dĩ An station, and would end in Lộc Ninh, close to the Cambodian border.

In the same year, the Cambodian Ministry of Transportation announced plans to build a railway line to connect Loc Ninh to Phnom Penh, reportedly with Chinese assistance.
