From Canada, I can understand that our diesel-electric trains don’t count, but that 0% ignores the electric passenger trains we have, as few as they are.
The map should really have a separate colour (grey?) for countries that have no railways.
0% of Libya’s non existent railways are electrified? Colour me surprised..
Ireland sticks out so much
how did india manage?
sad AF, especially for the US.
I don’t think Chile is accurate.
What’s the 1% in the U.S? Metra Electric?
please next time make the map with less pixels, they are too many
brics!
i cant even see the numbers for the smaller countries
cos why use a key
This seems like a better option, to electrify the nation’s rails rather than pushing private consumers to make the change and buy EV vehicles. Not saying both can’t happen, but Amtrak, being federally owned, could lead to way by updating their fleet.
That one map that Indians keep repeating
Fucking USA
I can’t even read bro.
Unrelated to the resolution of this image
The figure for the US would have been higher when the now-defunct Milwaukee Road had an electrified line running across the Rocky and Cascades mountains.
America is so embarrassing here. Missed opportunities.
As large as the population (1.4bl) of India is and the land size it’s quite an achievement
All so called developed nations are lagging behind with all the budget and low population numbers
IG this a bit of old data, India currently has 95% electrified railways and the target is some 99%, some places which pass through some insanely crazy landscapes are very hard to electrify.
As a swiss person, I didn’t know that non-electric trains are still used.
That’s quite shocking.
This is Indian propaganda, look at the allocation of Kashmir, in this map even Azad Kashmir which is globally recognised by countries as being part of Pakistan is given to India.
Which sinler Kilometer of American railway is electrified lol
This map is so wrong
N e e d M o r e P I x e l s
Would be interesting to look at differences in urban vs rural areas and the use of heavy vs light rail trains.
Is Greenland the only region shown separately?
Average Brazilian W tbh
Argentina is wrong
Argentina has the 27% of the railways electrified
This very same map was posted 2 times already by different users [5 months ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1dxl0nv/electrification_of_railways_around_the_world_of/) and [3 months ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1et71g0/electrification_of_railways_around_the_world_of/), respectively (the second one was deleted, but you can still read the discussion) and although I don’t know how accurate it is for the rest of the countries, in the particular case of Chile.
>Chile 0%
**It’s completely inaccurate.**
I’m going to copy and paste what I wrote in the 2 previous posts.
>Chile has hundreds of kilometers of electrified railroads and has been that way for many years.
>Here are some examples of electrified rail passenger services in Chile.

>Only the Santiago Metro is a metro system in the strictest sense of the word, the others are commuter and intercity trains whose lines are also used for freight trains.
>The service between Chillan station and Santiago central station alone is almost 400 km long, I don’t know how much percentage that is of the total railways in the country, but it is certainly not 0% as the map claims.
