How to read this table
Countries can be compared using two key parameters: total track length and density relative to the country's area. The rows allow for comparing the density of the railway network in one country versus another, using the indicator of kilometers of track per 1,000 square kilometers. This helps to visualize differences in the geographical coverage of transport
