List of European railway companies

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of European railway companies contains an overview of the railway companies in Europe. The first entry in each case is the state railway (usually organized under private law). Many railway companies are also active in the respective neighboring countries. Wagons (especially freight wagons) are exchanged across Europe.

The card contains the logos of all major state railways in Europe (as of May 9, 2019).
