 | It has been suggested that History of rail transport in Madagascar be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since November 2024. |
Rail transport in Madagascar is primarily operated by Madarail. There are two unconnected systems having a total length of 855 km (531 mi), as of 2023, all metre gauge, 1,000 mm (39+3⁄8 in). The northern railway is concessioned to Madarail. Since April 2022 Madarail has been 100% owned by the Madagascan state. The southern line, Fianarantsoa-Côte-Est railway is a parastatal (state owned) line.
The historical length of lines in the country was 899 km (559 mi) together with a number of military and industrial lines of at least 108 km (67 mi).
