The Netherlands has a rail network totalling 7,021 kilometres (4,363 mi) of track,[1] or 3,013 route km.
[2] Three quarters of it is electrified, one third is single track.
Railway lines are built in standard gauge, apart from a few narrow gauge industrial and recreational railways.
In contrast with the motorways in the Netherlands, and the railway lines in Belgium, the railway lines in the Netherlands are not identified by line numbers.
For that reason, the lines listed below are named simply by reference to the names of their termini.
