Rail transport in Brazil began in the 19th century and there were many different railway companies. The railways were nationalised under RFFSA (Rede Ferroviária Federal, Sociedade Anônima) in 1957. Between 1999 and 2007, RFFSA was broken up and services are now operated by a variety of private and public operators, including América Latina Logística, Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos and SuperVia. ==Track gauge== The rail system in Brazil operates on four rail gauges: * Broad gauge: 4,932 km gauge * Metre gauge: 23,773 km gauge * Dual gauge: 396 km and gauges (three rails) (1999 est.) * Standard gauge: 202.4 km gauge: * * line 5 of the São Paulo Metro, so that it can use "off the shelf" equipment. * * Estrada de Ferro do Amapá in the middle of the Amazon Rainforest also used standard gauge. * Total: 29,303 km (1,520 km electrified). A 12 km section of the former gauge Estrada de Ferro Oeste de Minas is retained as a heritage railway. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rail transport in Brazil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
