Trivia: Which country has the greatest amount of railway?
China
United States
Russia
India
The correct answer is United States
So why is this answer correct? : With more than 155,000 miles of railway, the United States has more tracks than any other country — but it used to have much more. In 1916, the U.S. peaked at more than 230,000 miles of railway. The introduction of automobiles and the popularization of air travel reduced demand for trains, which led to a reduction of railways in the following years. In terms of total passengers per year, India comes out on top with 8 billion annual riders.
