from a larger tram network to the smallest:

The NTB operates a 2.5 km tram line in Naumburg, with ex. GDR 2-axle cars

>>189194
That is the cutest little rail car I've ever seen.

>>189194
they should be expanding and adding new routes

>>189196

Naumburg has 35000 inhabitants.
They used to have a 5.4 kilometer loop line around the inner city, which was closed in 1991. The only reason it didn't close sooner is that in the GDR, nobody had cars, so public transport was more important. Track maintainance in the GDR was shit though, which was probably the main reason it was closed.
Since 1994, parts of the loop operate mainly as a heritage line, though it runs every day and is integrated in the city bus network. There are vague plans to reopen the whole loop, but there's no money.

would require lots of expensive new rail
tram-train also not possible, tram is meter gauge, rail standard

also R for RATP

>>189252
the tram route is only 2.5km, yes?
rebuild to standard gauge

a hell of a lot easier than Victoria Australia, where the trains are broad gauge and the trams are standard gauge - and the rest of the country is also standard gauge

>>189257
The trams are a different system then the metro.

The metro system in Paris is awesome, the trams, not so much...

>>189257
Actually Qld and WA are narrow gauge, and you might also want to keep in mind QR is Australia's biggest rail company and it runs mostly on narrow gauge.

Found this picture on wiki, but not sure how accurate it is (because I thought SA was standard gauge).

let's keep this going

S for SBB

Trans Europ Express

SA, Adelaide resident here. The freight ways are standard gauge, but the rail lines for the city wide rail network aren't.

It quite annoyingly means the Belair line is a single track line now.

UeSTRA, 1987. Again, there's an umlaut but since none complained about OeBB, this ought to be ok.

"Verkehr" is German for traffic. So many transport operators start with the letter V, e.g. the VAG, running trams in Freiburg

The WSW (Wuppertaler Stadtwerke) operate, among some bus lines, the Schwebebahn, a hanging monorail.

The next one's going to be difficult...

shouldn't it be a company starting with X, not a vehicle?
On the other hand, we'd never have found a company anyway.

Also Z for Zillertalbahn

And let's try again. Make sure not to repeat anything.

A is for AVG (Albtal-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft), invented tram-trains and operates these around Karlsruhe on a 500 km network

After a short glimpse at the wikipedia article, it seems to be heavy rail street running, which could be found very often in industrial areas or ports. I don't know to what extent british law seperates tram and rail, but Germany has two fully seperate laws for them. The idea of mixing tram with rail (the legal status changing) was used before e.g. Colonge/Bonn, but those were privatly owned, non-federal rail lines, also overhead voltage didn't change.

Karlsruhe also changes the legal status, but what's new is that they change currents (from 750V DC to 15000V AC) and they run on federal rail lines.

What's this "heavy rail" thing? Rail is rail is rail. Anything else is just implementation detail. I'm not really seeing the difference between Karlsruhe and things such as the long-term track sharing that's happened in London Underground on at least three lines - arguably, the Metropolitan Railway invented tram-trains in C19 when they were running trains from the inner-city subway out to new commuter towns 80-90km away. The modern Metropolitan Line has been curtailed to 45km, but it still runs from the Circle Line tunnels with their metro operation out to what is now the "big" railway.

>>189772
heavy rail is a proper Train. Electric Multiple Unit carriages, coupled together in a set of 3 or 4 or 6 or more.

Lightrail is just a glorified Tram or Streetcar. The Americans try to use it in place of proper trains, and quickly fail.

>>189772
Light rail is a real category of rail vehicles that are not built to withstand worst case collisions with each other, let alone heavier things. I collect all kinds of street legal rail vehicles starting from streetcars up to a number of metropolitan rail systems under light rail, but light rail need not run on streets at all. Usually though light rail is flexible enough to fit on streets and sharp hills.

Heavy rail is large, heavyweight and inflexible. It usually survives collisions well, high speed operations exempt. Characterized by cargo transport capability. (There are some light rail cargo operations though.) Only infrequent and slow operation crosses or runs along street level, using absolute priority.

>>189772
talking from a german point of view, we have two laws, the EBO (for railways) and the BOSTRAB (for trams).
In short: BOSTRAB allows street running, EBO allows bigger trains.
If you go into details, there are several sub-laws for different types of trains, considering loading gauge, vehicle lenght and weight, maximum speeds, if and how you have to put up signals, different regulations if you want public funding etc...
German bureaucracy at its best.

I have no idea under what law the london underground would run, e.g. there are S-Bahn tunnels for suburban trains in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurt, Stuttgart that run under EBO.
On the other hand, the 4 full subway systems (U-Bahn) in Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Nürnberg run as a sub-law of BOSTRAB, I don't know why. As they're full seperate, there is no lenght restriction..
Pre-metro Stadtbahn systems, e.g. in the Ruhr area, e.g. Essen (to continue our ABC), which have parts underground, parts street running are BOSTRAB as well. If a line is partly street running, lenght restrictions (75 meters) do apply, if it's fully seperate, longer trains would be possible.

>>189863
Regulation is an implementation detail. In the UK, the law governs the building of new lines - arranges for land grants and gives permission for it to go ahead. Most of the regulating law has either been repeealed or is irrelevant - the one that usually comes back to bite people is the requirement for a minimum service (Parliamentary trains) or the onerous provisions over closing a station or line to passengers. The actual operation is a matter for the operators - Network Rail on the "big railway", various smaller operators on their own track. London Underground operates using its own rules on its own track, and under the Network Rail rules when on its track. Trams that run on rails embedded in the street are subject to road traffic laws. The tram systems and the Metro in Newcastle have their own rules, but most private railways tend to adopt the Network Rail rules out of convenience (drivers and engineers are already familiar with them, and the texts are publicly available).

>>189808
HA HA HA OH WOW. A "light railway" is a railway which is restricted in some way in return for exemption from a bunch of regulations (in the UK, light railways are exempt from the requirement to lay mileposts and the requirement to operate passenger services - though as many are preserved railways on ex-BR trackbed, they're already posted and have passenger facilities). A "light rail vehicle" is something like a tram or a railbus of lightweight construction. The PPMs at Stourbridge are examples of LRVs that operate on the big railway. LRT (light rail transit) is the use of LRVs in mass transit.

The FEG runs a 31 km long very rural branch line from Freiberg, Saxony, Germany to the Czech border

Not sure if it counts as an operator.

Wondering why there weren't any other shipping operators posted before.
