European railways
Continent's rail networks
European railways form the extensive network of rail transportation across Europe, characterized by high-speed intercity trains, integrated cross-border services, and dense commuter systems.
The term encompasses both the physical infrastructure and the various national and private operators: European railways have made flying between major cities increasingly unnecessary.
Rail travel remains central to European transportation culture in ways it never became in North America.
