thou. km

· snapshot · rows: 18 · periods: 6 · section: Russian Statistical Yearbook (2024)

Over twenty-four years, the total length of all railways in the country changed from 139 to 122 thousand kilometers. Statistics distinguish between three categories of tracks: public, non-public, and their total sum. Information for the period from 2000 to 2023 allows tracking changes in the transport network at the end of each year. The unit of measurement is thousand kilometers; data is collected for the entire territory of Russia

How to read this table

Rows in the table divide tracks into public and non-public use, which helps assess the share of main lines in the overall network. By comparing these indicators, one can see the difference between state transport corridors and private industrial access tracks. Such detail by type of service provides an overview of the country's railway infrastructure structure at the end of each reporting year

What is visible in these numbers

The table is 82% filled: Rosstat does not publish every cell, and the gaps are left as they are rather than interpolated.
